The dBm is still a ratio between two quantities, as are all decibel measurements, this on relative to 1 mW, so shouldn't it also have no units, simular to Sound intensity level? --LeakeyJee 14:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

what do you mean by "it also have no units"? dBm is a shorthand for the power in Decibel relative to 1mW. it *does* have units in the name. that's what the "m" is for in dBm.
