[Elecraft] Units

[Don Wilhelm]

Wait just a minute.  Those old units should be "kc" and "Mc" to be correct.
The proper units multiplier designations and their abbreviations are:
kilo = k = 1000
Mega = M = 1,000,000
milli = m = .001

That is why the capitalization/non-capitalization of "M/m" is so important.
