I've heard the 6dB per S unit figure in conversations for years, but
I've never seen it written in any authoritative source. However, I note
that Collins receivers from the 50s and 60s, having S meters marked in
both dB and S units, seem to indicate that 3 S units = 10 dB, equivalent
to a nice round 3.33 dB per S unit.

In my 56 years of hamming I've always thought the "standard" was/is
6 db, but I can't site anything support this.
We Yanks have always resisted the "world order" when it comes to
measurements ..... Lessee, the last I knew it was just us and Libya
holding out ...
