600 ohms is usually an audio reference.  i.e. 0dbm is 1mw on 600ohms.
RF is usually specified to 50 ohms regardless of the actual impedance
(0dbm rf is 1mw on 50ohms), and a transformation is needed to arrive at
the voltage, current losses for other impedances.  Some VHF specs are at
150 or 300 ohms, and there could be a new standard developing for 600 as
some patch antennas do have that high an input impedance.
