Pete: You are right on the money with the kc/s and that is the reasoning that
was debated when
some of the powers to be made because of the lack of understanding that kc
meant kc/s. Mostradio guys back then knew that cps was understood when a radio
freq was 3735 kc.
This was also about the time that the same folks wanted us to change to the
metric system. Thatdidn't happen but for some reason, hertz stuck.
I'm still old school and hertz does not mean anything to me.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Fwd: Re: hz / KC Correction
Kc is not, but kc per second (kc/s) is as valid a kHz. A cycle is
meaningless, unless it references a time period. kHz, cp/s, etc.
The purpose of Hertz was to remove the ambiguity. But 1 Hz and 1 cp/s
should be universally acceptable.
