Looks like everyone was right. Not enough horsepower that battery pack. So, I got a charge controller for my solar panel, 7ah battery, mini inverter and all is well in paradise. Should have posted this sooner and saved myself the headache. By the way the Ammo Can looks great. Thanks for the help.

I recently decided to stand up a GRMS repeater in my area since we have a limited amount in Arkansas. It was suggested I use the "Tool Kit" on "support.nautel.com" to see what my coverage area was going to be. I went to the site and had to register and then the "Took Kit" was free to use. It did point to point plots and site plots. I put in all my infomration and it made a coverage plot and placed it on a map. I was amazed at just how accurate this tool was. For the antenna type and car coverage I had to select "custom" from the drop down. I would suggest this site and this tool for anyone who was looking to stand up a repeater or just wanted to know their point to point plot. 
I kind of blame "notarubicon" for peaking my interest in all of this and getting back into radios after 30 years and multiple deployments in the Army. I was a 25F/W40 in the Army and ranged from microwave to satellite communications with multiple radio's in between. Good to be back.
