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 = Eâ‹…I = 100 Vâ‹…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 = Sâ‹…PF = 400 Wâ‹…0.2 = 80 W

As many of you have already noticed, so far the trivia questions have been a complete repeat of those asked in the last contest except
for the question of 8-10 where they changed the answer. So there is no need to wait for the answer to be posted here.

I see that I have posted the same answer as ElKarl because I didn't look before I posted.
