Yeah, I tapped off of 12v and ground on the amplifier board, wired it thru a switch and to a 2.1/5.5mm dc jack. Cut off the lighter plug and soldered on a matching dc plug on the inverter.

Using a radio that's not type accepted for frs use on frs frequencies isn’t going to raise a red flag. Yes it’s technically against the rules, but you’re not running hundreds of watts of power with...

Pretty much this. Antenna height, and wavelength has a lot more to do with how far you can communicate than power.
