kilohertz
Thousand cycles second
A kilohertz is one thousand hertz—a unit measuring frequency at one thousand cycles per second.
Radio stations broadcast at frequencies measured in kilohertz (AM) or megahertz (FM).
In computing, processor speeds were once measured in kilohertz before advancing to megahertz and gigahertz.
Abbreviated kHz.
