[Elecraft] 10 mHZ external reference VS the K3S's optionalKTCXO3-1

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

In the Elecraft manuals and other technical writing I stick with the S.I.
standard notation. You can find details on line here;

http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html

The units are on that page and click on the link at the bottom for the
prefixes.

Notwithstanding that the accepted abbreviation for 1000 Hz is kHz -
lower-case k.  I didn't learn that in engineering school because the Hertz
hadn't been adopted yet.

I love working with standards because there are so many of them to choose
from.  :)
