HP39G+ RPN wannabe Message #1 Posted by Andy on 19 Mar 2006, 2:00 p.m. Hello Fellow RPNers, Just picked up a brand new sealed HP39G+ for a song. I have a question, does anyone know how to turn this into a RPN calculator? Does ayone know of a SECRET keystroke sequence or perhaps shorting of a pin or something? Thanking anyone in advance for any info, Warmest regards, Andy (Babyboomer RPN power user)

And we'd lose our membership in the cabal. Sorry. If you can't find the secret keystroke sequence, the other way to turn it into an RPN calculator is to sell it and buy a 48GII or 49G+.

Re: HP39G+ RPN wannabe Message #10 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 19 Mar 2006, 10:38 p.m., in response to message #1 by Andy Hi, Andy; I have two HP39G+ and, although about 90% of my HP's are RPN and I like it more than the algebraic notation, I use the HP39G+ without problems. In fact, I am reading about how to develop applets so my daughter may also use it for studying. The main reason I bought it, though... Cheers. Luiz (Brazil) Edited: 19 Mar 2006, 10:42 p.m.

Re: HP39G+ RPN wannabe Message #11 Posted by Andy on 20 Mar 2006, 8:33 a.m., in response to message #10 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) Hi Luis, I have several HP 11Cs, 15Cs, HP48GII and now a new HP39G+. I am beginning to really enjoy it now. Not bad for an Algebraic Calc. There a lots of them (new) on e-bay, etc at ultra low prices (under $30.00). Regards, Andy So. Calif Aerospace engineer

Re: HP39G+ RPN wannabe Message #13 Posted by Andy on 20 Mar 2006, 7:06 p.m., in response to message #12 by Paul Marin Not at all Paul. Liking this lil gal with the long ALG blue dress more and more. Can always go back to the short skirted RPN 11C, 15C and the HP48GII big mama anytime...... :)
