Ask A Firefighter Question about Radio Strap
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)

Sway bar. Clip it to your back belt loop. 5.11 Tactical EMS pants have a smaller belt loop for that reason.
Hooked it to the side for demonstration purposes, but I usually hook it on my back belt loop.
