What is the supply voltage for a FTDX101MP?

100/200V

No source for the answer; I just guessed.

Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/
I guessed wrong. The specs on page 111 says "Supply Voltage: DC 13.8 V ± 10%"
so I picked 10/20V but I guess the wanted the voltage for the power supply.

Q: How many watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0.6 if the input is 200VAC at 5 amperes?

A: 600 watts

Question E5 D17 from the study guide Reading https://hamstudy.org/browse/E4_2016/E5D

We know that power consumed can be calculated by multiplying the voltage V and the current I and the factor PF.

Power Consumed=V×I×PF=200V×5A×0.6=1000W×0.6=600W

Q: Where is the FTDX101D Manual printed?

A: Japan

The English language User Manual Reading on the bottom of the last page http://www.gianora-hsu.ch/files/p...04D-BS.pdf



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

At first I didn't think this was a fair question because you would have to have a printed hard copy and who has that? But the words "Printed in Japan" appear on the last page of the pdf.

Japan would have been a good guess and Spain a possibility. 'South America' is not a county and Hawaii is not known as a manual publishing center.

Q: What antenna has no gain in any direction?

A. Isotropic antenna


Question E9 A02 from the study guide Reading https://hamstudy.org/browse/E4_2016/E9A

Isotropic antennas are ideal (theoretical) antennas that have equal power in all directions. They are used as references for antenna gain.

The word "isotropic" means "uniform in all orientations/directions".
