...spectrum of gravitational radiation...Measured in what units---volts, amperes, coulombs, joules, Herz, waves, particles...?

I don’t know but I suspect it would be based on the instrumentation. Any movement would be picked up by electromagnetic sensors or some kind of interferometer. Gravity itself is seen as a force measured in Newtons, so the effect would be in microNewtons.

I would guess measured in distance, due to distortion or contortion of any object, but I only stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.

I don't think that gravity waves have ever been directly detected by purpose built instruments. I think that these waves were proven to exist by examination of certain phenomena affecting a distant star or binary star system.

Probably in units of g, which in the MKS system would be meters cubed over the quantity kilograms times seconds squared.
