RF App (modest) / Manual error
I have the start of an RF App in python at https://udel.edu/~mm/hp/rfCalcs.html. At the moment it is two menus, each with 3 items. As this note title says, modest, and error checking is equally modest. :-) If you work in RF, you might find it handy. I hope it continues to evolve. Please feel free to either add to it or contact me with ideas.

Along the way I discovered a small error in the manual regarding the PPL INPUT() command. The manual says [-1] indicates that any type can be accepted by an edit field. This results in error for me. The problem is solved by using integer as indicated by the PPL TYPE() command. Probably, [0] will be most commonly used.

The hardest part is not math but learning how to make and place UI items!

You're welcome, Calum, and no doubt you guessed that's why S meter units are in there. It's also a fun thing to confuse my non-amateur coworkers. :-D

A short note to say I added a couple more calculations to the app. I won't write everytime I do so. :-) But for those interested check the page on occasion since there's a good chance I'll continue to add more. Thanks.
