I saw this advertised in the latest QST: Powerwerx DB-750X Dual Band VHF/UHF 750 Channel Commercial Mobile Radio - on sale for $299.99.



The manual is here (PDF). I've yanked the whole description from the Powerwerx page:

The newest mobile added to the Powerwerx lineup features Narrow band transmit (2.5 KHz) except on the Amateur bands (selectable Wide or Narrow RX), true dual-band receive (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V), Wide RX/TX 136-174/400-490 MHz, AM aircraft Receive 108-136 MHz and user selectable multi-colored LCD display.

  3. Hi, I have now a Polmar DB-50M but switched to MODE1 it becomes a Powerwerx.
    Does anyone has a menu number list of al functions?
    There is not such a list in the manual.
    If someone has a list, I would like to have it.
    BTW I did a unboxing of the Polmar radio, see on my website: http://www.pa2old.nl/page.php?id=265
