Radio Belt Measuring Instructions
To properly measure for your custom fit Radio Belt you will need a flexible tape measurer, a piece of webbing or if you have access to one a radio belt.
Measuring with a radio belt: If you have access to a radio belt. Put it on and adjust the belt to how you like to wear it. When you are happy with your adjustment, take the tape measurer and place it on the front side of the belt at the point where the leather wraps around the snap (see picture below with yellow arrows). Take the running end and drape it over your shoulder following the radio belt. Your end measurement will be at the point where the leather wraps around the snap. This will be your belt length.
For the shoulder mic, determine the location where you like to wear your shoulder mic and then measure from the same starting point on the front of the radio belt to the center point of the shoulder mic. This will be your shoulder mic measurement.
Measuring with a piece of webbing: Take the piece of webbing and place one end at the location where you would like to have your radio holder. Drape the running end of the webbing over your shoulder and back down to the same location as the start point for the webbing. Measure from the beginning of the strap to where the straps meet and that will be your total length.
For the shoulder mic, determine the location where you like to wear your shoulder mic and then measure from the same starting point on the front of the strap to the point where you like to wear your mic.
Example: You can see that the total length of this belt is 57-1/2” and the mic. Measurement is 19” on-center
