Here's how to keep your favorite handy-talkie from meeting an early demise from falling off your belt.
Get a mini-carabineer and a ty-wrap. The carabineers are usually sold as a key ring. If the radio becomes dislodged from your belt the strap prevents disastrous unplanned impact with terrain when clipped to a belt loop of your pants.
Lessee, I've been a ham for 60 years almost, and I never dropped an HT yet ... I'll pass. I druther be able talk on the darned thing without looking like a guy trying to bend over and bite himself in the ... in the ... well, in the shopping mall.

What? No remote mic?
Shame.
Actually I've never owned a remote mic. One would go well with your suggestion, though.

I use a case with a BELT LOOP, not a clip, no way is it coming off the belt. HT snaps in, no way is it coming out of the case w/o my intent.

Me I just carry a Baofeng that I won with a $1 ticket! (maybe a little over priced but it works)

I would never work a public service event without a remote speaker/mic. Not only does it make for easy operations but it just looks so professionally cool. :cool:
When my wife was finishing up her Music Ed degree we would sometimes take MARTA downtown to concerts in the late evening. I would put a HT on my belt with the remote mic on my lapel. Everybody thought I was transit police so they left me alone.

I agree. I never work a public service event without a remote speaker/mic. Also, I never work a public service event with a remote speaker/mic.
