I've never seen "dBv" refer to 1uv either. Always 1V.

"dbv" (sometimes "dbu" but rarely) refers "0" as 1.0 microVolt,
almost any characteristic. Not seen much in specifications,
though.

Interesting. I've many times seen dB relative to one volt as dBV, and dB
relative to one microvolt as dBuV, but never dBv meaning dB relative to
one microvolt, or dBu at all. Do you have any references that show these
unusual usages?
