Astro Navigation

[ponapay]

Can anyone recommend a suitable hand held calculator (preferably one already programmed) for use in calculating LHA and intercepts for astro nav?

I have a Casio 3800P which did very well but appears to have died. It no gives wrong answers to even simple calculations.

It must have been to school with my son.
