Instead of messing with the alternator why not just add like 2 to 4 more batteries amd stick them under the bunk?
Or a supercapacitor if you have big money.

Also, DO NOT PUT THE ANTENNAS ON THE MIRRORS OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONT, put them in the back or on the trailer. If you put your antenna on the driver side mirror and use even just 500 watts prepare for #### to randomly stop working.

Heck, if you stick your stick on the back of your trailer then you could run as much power as you want. Be sure to use lmr400 or something like that as rg8x will leak rf thrpugh the sheild. Lmr400 is double sheilded.

RG 213 WORKS WELL TOO. MANY WILL SAY LMR 400 DOESN'T WORK WELL WITH OUR FREQUENCIES... THE RIGHT AMPHENOL CONNECTERS ARE KEY. AS WELL AS GROUNDING EVERYTHING THATS NEEDED.
