To All from PA0SE
On my question about the proper way of writing units in English/American I
received the following reply from the Editor of RadCom.

Hello, Dick.
It is RadCom style to use the following:
10V or 10 volt(s), 5A or 5 amp(s), 2W or 2 watt(s).
With IF, RF and AF, capital letters and no dots.
With frequency, no gap between the number and the units, ie
800Hz, 136kHz, 21MHz.

In The Netherlands we write 5 A, but 5 ampère, 10 V but 10 volt. So in
general the unit is written with a capital when abbreviated but with a
lower case when written in full. And with a space between figure and unit.
What is correct in English or American, 3 V or 3V?. Same question for 10
amp, 10amp, 10Amp, 10Amps?, etc.
And what about rf or RF? if, IF, i.f. or I.F. (intermediate frequency)
etc.?
