For some reason I know them as "cop mic's", or as "shoulder mic's". Clear-Com calls it a "push to talk handset". Telex calls it a "push to talk hand-mic".
Squawk Box is the Clear-Com station permanently installed on the wall.
However this talk of radios is potentially breaking a cardinal rule. How do you secure that FRS/Commercial Grade radio so it doesn't fall and kill someone below?
So with regards to that snap closure or elastic covering, what are people's opinions about taking that up to the grid? I have been curious lately about things in zippered pockets, velcro closures and the like. I want to see some opinions on it for my own sake and policy, so I just wanted to put the question out there.
