I apologise for this being OT, but maybe it balances FlexRadio's
cutting-edge dash to the future.
I write code professionally and also for Ham Radio. I use the latest
computers and whirly bits. But if you ever come across any of my programs it
may interest you to know that when the going gets tough it's my HP 16C
programmer's calculator from 1982 which I use for Hexadecimal to Decimal
work. Still on its original batteries, I found it in a shop in Madison
Avenue where the spotty sales assistant thought he got a great deal selling
an unopened but long discontinued calculator for $20 to an idiot Englishman!
Original price was $150. Oh how I laughed - once I got outside :-)

So before you start writing code for the SDR-1000 go out and find one of
these - invaluable!

Having used HP machines since that day in 1972 when my slide rule
went into the desk drawer replaced by the hp-35, I have always
carried an HP machine in my shirt pocket where the pocket protecter
had been before that.
