Title says it all. I was reading this page http://www.marcspages.co.uk/tech/5101.htm about analogue meters and dB measurement, very interesting and informative.
But I come across dB and dBm used almost interchangeably. I got the idea from somewhere that the "m" is for "metres" - is this correct, and if so, why?
