03/26/2026What is the approximate Q of a parallel RLC circuit at resonance if R = 47 kilohms, L = 10 mH, and C = 100 pF?Answer: I don't know DontknowEntry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/The correct answer is 4.7 which is not offered, I picked 470 figuring GigaParts misplaced the decimal point somewhere in their calculation but that was marked incorrect. Of the four answers offered:Approx 235Approx 470Approx 700Approx 940all are incorrect.MadLet's do the math:Q = R times the square root of the ratio of C over L.Calculate the ratio C/L 10mH = 0.01 H = 10 to the minus 2nd power Henry100pf = 10 to the minus tenth power FaradThe ratio of C/L = ten to minus eighth powerTake the square root of the ratio C/L = ten to minus fourth powerMultiply that by R. 47000 x ten to minus fourth power = 4.7.Interestingly some on line calculators give the correct answer 4.7 and some wrong ones.
940 is the correct answer

In the 'FEATURES' section, what size is the Icom IC-7300MK2 color TFT touch LCD?

Answer: 4.3 inch


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

Reading Official company ICOM IC-7300MK2 webpage https://www.icomjapan.com/lineup/...K2/?open=1

Quote :
The large 4.3 inch color IPS touch LCD offers intuitive operation.
IPS is a high-performance type of TFT LCD. While standard TFT panels (usually TN) are cost-effective and faster,
IPS TFT displays offer superior color accuracy, better image quality, and wider, more stable viewing angles.

According to 'SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES', what is the voltage and amperage of the Icom IC-7300MK2 European version's spare DC cable fuse?

Answer: I don't know Dontknow


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

32 V 25 A was marked as wrong.

I didn't see any fuse specs in the 'SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES' or any indication that the DC fuses for the European version are any different from the US version. Fuse specs are listed under "Includes.' Since the rig draws 21 amps in TX mode
of the four choices:
58 V 5 A
32 V 25 A
32 V 30 A
13.8 V 20 A

58 V 5 A and 13.8 V 20 A would be too small for a rig that draws 21 A . Since 32 V 25 A is marked as wrong that leaves only 32 V 30 A as the only possible answer. But it wouldn't surprise me that they would mark that as wrong too.
I don't see any reason for the European version to require a bigger DC fuse.

Reading Official company ICOM IC-7300MK2 webpage https://www.icomjapan.com/lineup/...K2/?open=1
Reading GigaParts catalogue page Icom IC-7300MK2 [gigaparts.com].

The second page of the manual (https://32d7228fa4db1ecd7e2e-509b...asic_0.pdf) shows that the European version comes with 32V 30A fuses.
