The question said MAIN and SUB not each.
I picked 1000 and was told it is incorrect because you formatted your message just like all the others so I thought 1000 was the correct answer.

What is System Fusion? http://www.ws1sm.com/System-Fusion.html
Quote :
Automatic Mode Select

Every Fusion radio and repeater is aware of the current QSO and it's mode, using a feature called Automatic Mode Select. This function instantly recognizes whether the received signal is C4FM digital or conventional FM. The communication mode automatically switches to match the received mode. Even if a digital signal is being used, you can switch to FM communication if radio signals are received from an FM station. This function enables stress-free operation by removing the need to manually switch the communication method each time.

How many watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0.2 if the input is 100 VAC at 4 amperes?

Answer: 80 watts


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

Reading HamStudy.org Section E5 Question D5 https://hamstudy.org/browse/E4_2020/E5D

Quote :
E= 100 V
I= 4 A
Power Factor (PF) = 0.2
How many watts are consumed in this circuit?

The consumption with a power factor of 1.0 would be defined by Ohm's law:
P = E⋅I = 100 V⋅4 A = 400 W
We call this result the Apparent Power, and often refer to it with the symbol S:
S = Papparent = 400 W
To determine the real power, the apparent power needs to be multiplied by the power factor:
PReal = S⋅PF = 400 W⋅0.2 = 80 W
