Hi all,
Curious if anyone has any ideas on how to secure a portable radio in the cab of some fire apparatus. We have a customer that has about 15 large trucks and has motorola XTS5000 radios. They have a bank charger in the back, but up front they just need something to securely hold the radios (not charge them, just hold them). By "securely" I mean something that will allow the radios to not fly around in case of a rollover/accident (complying with the NFPA accident standard that came out a few years ago)
We thought about bolting a leather radio case to the console, but the customer has belt clips on the back of their radios, so can't put them in a case. We also thought about making an aluminum bracket that the belt clip can clip on to, but the belt clips aren't strong enough to hold the radios in case of an accident.
Any ideas? Motorola has nothing off-the-shelf but I'm hoping someone here can help.
Many thanks.
