Hi there!
I am putting together a little presentation for my department in hopes that we can finally get some radio straps. Currently, I am issued a radio with no belt clip of any kind or extended mic. Being both fire and ems, this radio isn’t practical at all. We finally got extended mics for all radios, but I and several others still have no efficient way of carrying said radio without a belt clip or strap. The general population wants to buy a community pool of radio straps, so that those on duty are equipped properly (instead of buying everyone belt clips). The thinking behind is that if we were to get new radios, this problem won’t happen again because we will just have the straps. I did a lot of research online about the other benefits of a strap compared to carrying the radio another way, especially on the fire ground. I was hoping you could give me your opinion on the matter or a brief summary of how to carry your radio.
Thanks
