 Can someone refer me to an empirical source where 1 S-Unit = 6DB? I
mentioned this in an off the cuff manner one day, to a person who has
dedicated his Amateur Radio focus to the technical side of Radio, and he
challenged me ie, "Where did you hear that?" I couldn't answer him. I
have maintained as fact 1 S-Unit = 6 DB my entire life, but I cannot
find a technical source to confirm. Any help?
