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)

Anti-sway strap. Hooks to the back belt loop of your pants so the radio doesn't clock your patient in the face.
