Re: KIND REMINDER
Mega and Giga are STANDARD abbreviations for powers of 10. Mega = 1E+6
Giga = 1E+9. Pico - 1E-12. Micro = 1E-6. These are all STANDARD
engineering notations! Oh, yes, and picoFarad =

Re: KIND REMINDER
In the example, k is correct but K wouldn't lead to confusion because the capital rule applies to *units* (Hz in this example) and k is a *prefix* (scaling factor if you will).

Re: KIND REMINDER
That is true. Engineering notation conforms to the SI unit system. Engineering notation applies to *prefixes*, not *units*. Hertz is a *unit* in the SI, milli, mega etc. are *prefixes* (to

No, there isn't. The rule applies to *units* in the SI. Mega, giga, milli, pico, deci etc. are *prefixes*.

Re: KIND REMINDER
the capital M is to properly differentiate between lower case m = milli or
1/1000 and M Mega, one million.
Google Engineering Notation for Frequency and you will find the standards.

Re: KIND REMINDER
Yes, but there is an inconsistency, as I do not recall any scientist named Mega or Giga, so it should be gHz and mHz........

Re: KIND REMINDER
By SI convention, all units named after people are to be spelled with an uppercase first letter,
so Hz, not hz (the unit Hz is named after Heinrich Hertz). Also mHz, kHz, MHz, GHz, *not* mhz, khz,

Re: KIND REMINDER
As in mA as well, thanks for the reminder
and since Hertz is a name, the H should be capitalized. ...and it is kHz
not KHz, as capital K is for Kelvin, not 1000 ...although in resistance

What about a balun. If I connect two wires directly to any measuring device without a balun, I don't get any results. Readings don't change no matter what I do.

To avoid confusion, please note (conform) to the following *standard*
notation in emails:
mHz or mhz = *MILLI*hertz = 1E-3 Hz (subsonic)
MHz or Mhz = *MEGA*hertz = 1E+6 Hz
GHz or Ghz = *GIGA*hertz
