Default Icom IC-7700 as a receiver

Sorry for adding more didactic crap, but...

I'm surprised that Mr. Mentor didn't point out that Hz ‚ c.
Because Hz = cps.
[But I'm old enough to prefer kc, even tho' it's less specific]

Regarding:
"That's why I always use the terms kcs (kilocycles), "

I believe it's probably about time to come into modern times and
standards. It really doesn't matter what Mr. Hertz's ethnicity
was, what does matter is what he discovered as the rest of the
world has notably recognized.

At least the number of "old timers" that are currently using the
"kilocycles" term along with "Mickey-mikes" for capacitance are
dying and being buried with those old and now bad habits.

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor
