Meanwhile, MODE is sitting as still as possible in the boat...

NUM, as in numeral system, which is related to radix?

BIN seems the best alternative we have, unless there are more words or more pleas.

Your call, but I'd say BIN only covers a small subset of the ground, and also is misleading. I'd expect to BIN to give me a menu with binary operations.

I like BASE... There are other long words out there (with more than 4 letters). Are they to be chopped as well?

CNV?

Or some abbreviation of radix, e.g. RAD (if you can look past the possible confusion with radians, that is - but as long as there's no DEG on the keyboard, this might be a reasonable expecation), RDX, etc?

Well, I have to insist. My DM15L has run for about one year on one battery, since I upgraded to FW V30 the battery died in a week, I've replaced it, the new battery lasted only 3 weeks, I replaced it a month ago with another one from another brand and batch, and well... It's down to 2.1V by now... ...

Maybe I am ridiculous, or maybe it is not the place for that (we just discuss about HP & DM calculators), but I think it could help some of us, especially those that are in very difficult areas (Italy, New York, China, ...). Take care of you and your families. On the contrary. We're all crew on...
