It holds the radio securely in place; It holds your antenna at an angle that prevents it from reaching your eyes. I've used it with my Yaesu and Alinco handhelds. These radios are securely fastened. I would agree with some of the other reviewers that the "helper pockets" are small. I can keep the battery in one of the pockets and the…
