Motorola AY000229A01 Leather Firefighter Radio Strap – 64 Inch Long

Motorola AY000229A01 Leather Firefighter Radio Strap – 64 Inch Long

The Motorola AY000229A01 Fireman Strap is Motorola’s long 64-inch heavy-duty leather firefighter radio strap, approved for Motorola APX and MOTOTRBO radios. It’s 8 inches longer than the standard 56-inch fire strap. That extra length gives taller firefighters, and anyone wearing the strap over SCBA harnesses, bulky turnout coats or winter gear, the room they need for a proper cross-body fit. The radio rides at your side, outside your coat and within reach. Rust-free scissor snaps clip securely to the D-rings on your radio carry case. A remote speaker mic hang-up clip keeps your shoulder mic where you can grab it, and a positive locking buckle holds the length you set on the fireground.

Fire departments issue the AY000229A01 to members who need more strap than a standard fire strap allows, on APX 6000, APX 8000, APX NEXT and MOTOTRBO XPR radios.

64-Inch vs. 56-Inch Motorola Fire Strap

For a standard-length strap, choose the Motorola AY000223A01 56-Inch Leather Fireman Strap.

How to Choose and Wear a Long Fire Strap

1. Check your current fit. If a 56-inch strap puts your radio high on your ribs, or won’t reach over your SCBA, choose the 64-inch strap.
2. Use a D-ring case. Put your radio in a carry case with D-rings on both sides.
3. Clip on the snaps. Attach the scissor snaps to the case’s D-rings.
4. Wear it across your body. Run the strap over the shoulder opposite the radio, outside your turnout coat.
5. Set the length. Adjust the buckle so the radio sits at your side, at or just above your hip.
6. Clip your speaker mic. Route the mic cord along the strap and clip the mic to the hang-up clip near your shoulder.
