There are different ways to toggle the polar mode. You can assign a program like...
<< IF -16 FS? THEN -16 CF ELSE -16 SF END >>
...to a little used key
Or you can put it into a custom (CST) menu, which is what I did.
Since it sounds like you're a former 48 user, I've attached a custom menu I wrote when I first got my 49 -- should work on a 50. It made my transition from the 48 easier. Rename it to CST and store it in the HOME directory. Press CUSTOM on the keyboard to use it. The polar toggle is under the TOGGLE soft key. Modify as you see fit.
The angle symbol is at [ALPHA] [RIGHT-SHIFT] 6
