Good looking out, but a couple of things to note:

- at the bottom they state "Kenwood products are exclusively for export". If they are an authorised dealer, they may not be allowed to sell below MSRP within the US. Whether they stick to their disclaimer or not is anyone's guess. One would have to call to find out

- while I believe some trophy truck teams use UHF business band (~450-470 MHz) in addition to VHF business band (~150 - 162 MHz), most race traffic incl. Weatherman, BFG Relay etc. is on VHF, so the UHF units may be of limited interest

- unlike ham units where you can key in the frequency directly, most business band radios are pre-programmed with certain channels corresponding to specific frequencies, so if buying one of these units, one would have to take the ability for one to program them to the desired frequencies into account
