Command-Level Communications Management The Dual-Twin Radio Chest Harness (Model 1246) is the ultimate mobile command post for Incident Commanders (IC), RIT officers, or interagency liaisons who must monitor two channels simultaneously. This harness mirrors the trusted design of the single-radio version but doubles the capacity, securely holding two portable radios side-by-side while keeping your hands free for maps, tablets, or tools.
Key Features
- Dual Radio Capacity: Features two adjustable radio holders with shock-cord retention, allowing you to carry a tactical radio and a command radio (or different agency bands) in one stable rig.
- Command Organization: Equipped with an internal map/notebook pocket behind the main panel and a zippered utility pouch for small items like keys or cell phones.
- Accessory Storage: Includes a dedicated pouch for spare batteries or gloves, plus external pen holders and elastic loops for securing a flashlight or glow sticks.
- High Visibility: A horizontal reflective strip runs across the front, ensuring the wearer is visible to vehicles and heavy equipment in low-light conditions.
Why It Matters Carrying two radios on a belt is heavy and confusing. This harness separates your devices physically and visually, allowing for intuitive "left radio, right radio" operation. It centers the weight on your torso, preventing back fatigue, and keeps antennas away from your face while ensuring both mics are reachable.
How to Use
- Fit: Adjust the shoulder and waist straps to center the panel on your chest.
- Load: Insert your primary and secondary radios into the left and right holsters; tighten the shock cords.
- Organize: Place your Incident Action Plan (IAP) or map in the rear slot and spare batteries in the center pouch.
- Route: Clip speaker mics to the shoulder straps to keep them distinct.
Technical Overview Despite its double capacity, the harness weighs only 14 oz. The main panel measures 11.25” Wide x 10.75” High, offering a broad platform that doesn't interfere with backpack straps. It is constructed from durable nylon and made in the USA.
