Unless I'm mistaken, both the Casio fx-115es and Sharp EL-W516X are missing a Degrees<>Radians conversion pair of functions.

On the EL-W516X you can do angular conversions by [2nd] [Dec point] which is "DRG>" in brown. It converts RAD>GRAD>DEG in sequence.

I have by no means figured this whole thing out, but it's a pretty nice machine for about $23 (TAS). The "manual" however leaves a lot or room for improvement; a single folded sheet that opens out to 23.5" x 14.75". But it is double-sided, so maybe I'm judging harshly.

This makes me smile when folks complain about the Prime and 50g "poor documentation". Sure they could be better, but 1 folded sheet of paper? Sheesh!

Having a copy of Walter's Printed WP-34S manual has permanently changed my landscape of what to expect (and hope for) in a manual. And though some would argue that it cost more than the EL-W516X machine itself, it's easily worth it and I could not be happier to pay for similar high quality products.
