Don't pay more than 100Euros/Dollars/Pounds, it's a nice calculator, but not really worth that much money.

I'd pay more than 100 €/$ for a minty one except for the fact that I own several already, but an HP-11C is surely worth it. There are not that many out there and every passing year there are even less.

Quote:Especially if you want to use it and actually write programs for it you will find that the memory size is rather limited.

It's not that limited but if KD8TZC wants one calc from the Voyager series (i.e.: same form factor as the HP-11C) the HP-15C is surely the one to get. Probably somewhat more expensive but an order of magnitude over the HP-11C in terms of memory and functionalities.

Quote:For much less money you will find an HP-35s which is a more usable calculator in every respect.

I was presented with one and found it very capable but its capabilities were obviously ill-conceived and grossly ill-implemented. Bug-ridden, incredibly slow equation processing (numbers in a program were treated as equations, so unbearably slow to "execute" them), abysmal vector and complex-number handling, very incomplete instruction set, etc. I gave it a very fair try but eventually became very frustrated with it and stopped using it altogether.

Also, sometimes it would freeze when running a program and I would have to completely reset it (losing all RAM contents in the process) and retype everything anew, which I did two times but never ever again.

Regards.
