[Elecraft] I wonder how many folks have had buyers remorse on a K3/K3S purchase?

[Barry Baines]

Fred:

I’m still using a HP-41 and I still have a functional HP-45 (works off the power supply).  RPN works for me…

FWIW, if you have an Apple iPhone, you can also get an app that provides a full emulation of the HP-41.  It works very well with the look and feel of the HP-41 and it allows me to have a “HP-41" with me all the time.  The app is named “i41CX-RPN Calculator” from AL Software.  There is also a version that has a printer function as well.  Check the Apple Store or the developer’s website (http://alsoftiphone.com) for more information if interested…


73,
