Ask A Firefighter Question about Radio Strap

Post image

Hello there folks, I’m a 15yo Explorer and was recently able to pickup a radio strap for free through my program and was just wondering one thing, what is this extra strap/ piece and what does it do, I don’t know what it’s called so I wasn’t able to research it so I turned here for help! (I’m holding it in the picture)

You clip it on a belt loop on your pants so when you bend over the radio doesn't slide around

No the straps on top of the radio are so it doesnt slide out. that is so it doesnt swing forward and hit someone in the face.
