Q: Is there a way to use this unit with a race care radio-to-helmet setup. The key would seem to be how the pic connects to the base. Thx!

This is actually exactly what I'm looking at using this radio for. IF you were to get a GMRS license ($65 and doesn't require a test, info here: http://www.hrdent.com/gmrs/gmrsapp.html ), you could program this unit to only use the 462Mhz frequencies assigned to 50W GMRS service. There's only 8 of those channels and only 5 that don't have stipulations such as not using close to the Canadian border. Link to GMRS frequencies: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/FRS/GMRS_combined_channel_chartThe issue, however, is the power of your pit-crew's radios. If you're using regular GMRS handhelds or other handhelds they max out at 5W. That would mean you could find your self in a situation where your car could transmit and be heard in the pits, but your crew may not be able to speak back if there are hills or lots of buildings in the way. Here in NorCal where I am, that's the case. So you may consider using a second one of these units in a car, RV or with a 12V battery so you can match the power and be heard back as well.All that said, these can be tricky to program and you'd be breaking the law using one without a license. If either of those things are problems for you, then you may want to check out something like the Midlands Micro Mobile unit, which is limited to 5Watts of power, and pre-programmed to only GMRS frequencies, but still requires a GMRS license.EDIT: oh, and you'll need to sort out helmet headset wiring. Mobile units use an RJ45 (8P2C) connector. It is possible to get adapters to various headset connectors such as IMSA or simple 3.5mm TRRS. But likely you'll need to find some kind of custom cable place for that.

Q: You are listing the radio as a dual band VHF radio but list the frequencies as 400-470MHz. Which is it a VHF radio, Dual Band Radio or a UHF Radio?

Dear customer, thank you for your question sincerely. Our title and description is wrong, it is not Dual Band, and the Real Frequency range is "UHF 400~470MHz". We apologize for this confusion, the mistake will be correct immediately:)

Q: Wow, after reading all the various answers below, just one question, is the output wattage 50 watts or 45 or 40? It says 50 on the box???

Technically 48 watts but real one looks like 80 not obstacles. Get a better antenna got more pwr.

Q: Hi this product lists as 40w transmit power however the book in the picture says 50w. also Baofeng only seem to list this radio as 50/25/10w.

The Instruction Book list the Radio as UHF 45 watt At high power 25 watt at medium power. I have an instruction book link on the radio review section also WWW.409shop.com has software for this radio on their site. The www/409shop.com also has a programming cable for $10.00. This radio is real particular about its programming cable.
