This may be fine for technical specs etc but most of us would far rather
send 599 in a qso than 'your are 1.34dBuV'. The s meter scale is an
admirable shorthand and should be maintained.

I though that this was a technical hobby! Didn't we sort of get used to the
idea that power was recorded in dBW?
I suspect the main problem would be that the manufacturers would loose
plausible deniability with regard to receiver spec tollerances.
