My observation is that very few people use units of dbW even when working at high power, dbm (relative to 1 milliwatt) being far more common.?
If a colleague started using dBW I would ask them why as I see no good reason for it, it is likely to cause confusion.? Like 1000X level confusion.

In the RF world, if something is written as "xdB" it is NOT a power level, it is a power ratio, or actually 10log of that ratio.?

The TinySA power specs all use dBm AFAIK.
