Maybe it would make sense to start with a non-linked repeater. Many people steer clear of linked repeaters.

Ch. 16 and surf the the others.
Spent a lot of time in Uwharrie NF years ago.  Palmetto Jeep Club even owned a trail (SAWMILL) for winter maintenance before it was re-routed.  Seen lots of changes pass thru that park.
Did some (worked) Camp Jeeps too in VA.  Mostly we wheel with VA4WDA and Williamsburg, TN, JJAM any more.
Completed the Trans American Trail and others....

Weare in Uwharrie monthy doing trail cleanups with the park along with other weekends just wheeling.Its nice that its only a couple hours from me. Not many places in VA that allow the wheeling like UH

Been Jeeping for 40+ years. First vehicle was a CJ. Currently we wheel our 2009 JK 2 Door. Its our beat on off road jeep. Also light wheeling of our 2020JT.
Do alot of Jeep Jamborees, so Uwharrie for 5 years now along with Greenbrier and others. Do alot of Forest Service roads with the JT.
I use what ever channel others are on but scan when alone. 

I'll share the date with the "financial administrator" of the household and see whats on our calendars. 

Let us know when your going to Flagpole. Its on my list. Next weekend in VB for a family thing but then around rest of year.
 

Why not? My truck's lighter sockets are rated at 120 watts. Stock. Nothing out of the ordinary. Quiz, can you tell me how many amps that is? It's a rhetorical question. That means I'm not interested in a response because clearly you don't get it. 
Not knowing things isn't a crime. In fact that is what has been great about this community. That people help people and they become educated. You got to want info though and you are something else.
Let's recap. When you told us it was pulling 23 watts on 13.8 volts, well you are the one that told us it was less than two amps (regardless if you realize that or not, math/ohms law, you should try it).  When @nokones asked for some clarification (because your statment made no sense) you insult him. That's a great way to show us how absolutely brilliant you are. double down and insult the guy.  Then @Sshannon tries to explain because clearly their was no need to be insulting people and you insult him and say he's wrong. No he is not and being loud and insulting dosn't change that. 
I don't understand why this forum has taken a turn for the worst with all the insultling lately but I can pin point the people doing it. It would be nice if you could try being a better human here on the forum. Regardless you are going on my ignore list which does make this a nice Sunday morning indeed. 

Sounds good!  I only have a handful of badges.  I should work on them.
 
I am heading to Rausch Creek on Friday and we are going to do a trip to Flagpole Knob in the George Washington National Forest on the 30th  Trying to get a couple runs in before the snow hits.

BTW, I believe that the XTL and APX will address up to 4 heads.  There is a way to set the head number on each head and they get daisy chained from head to head.  The power would be a bigger issue at that point as I don't know I would want stand along power supplies running each head creating a ground loop on the data cable between the heads and the radio.
 

That changed. Here are the cables for the APX. Just installed the 50' one in a command post application.

Feedline is another important consideration. If your going to be under 50' good LMR400 with the proper connectors will work well for your application. You want cable to be minimum length needed to get to the antenna and surge arrestor and not use adapters.

Excellent advice! I was going to go that route myself a while back, but found a good deal on the Vertex VX-4207 on eBay. I picked up two of them for $75 each using the "Make Offer" feature. They are both type 90 and 95 FCC accepted, so they can legally be used on GMRS and 70cm ham band. Plenty of memory channels and features such as scan. Got all the repeater channels programmed into memory with every PL tone so I can scan and use repeaters that I normally wouldn't have in memory while traveling. So, if you feel comfortable programming a radio you'll find these great virtually indestructible radios at a bargain price. I've got a total of four of them now, two in the vehicles and made a repeater out of the other two.
Here's a link to the eBay seller. He fully tests them before shipping and will send you the results as shown on his IFR 1200S service monitor. I have no relation to seller, just passing on a good deal for anyone that wants one.

I use the DB404 and 408 but those are a bit big for your application. The TRAM is the economical way to get it up but requires tuning and care on installation. I like the Laird FG Series of antennas for applications like yours. The FG4605 is a solid LMR antenna and you only connect the cable and install. No tuning and no radials to worry about. I used the FG4603 and FG4600 on my Motorohome for years.
