Abstract

The present invention is a helmet-mounted radio assembly with extended controls. In the helmet-mounted radio assembly, a radio device is removably mounted on a helmet. The radio device includes extensions connected to the microchips for controlling various functions thereof. The extensions extend outside of a body of the radio device, and control dials are provided at distal end of the extensions. Thus, a user can have extended controls ergonomically located within easy reach thereof for controlling the regular functions, like volume control, changing channel frequency, or switching on/off the radio device. The helmet-mounted radio assembly utilizes reliable mounting arrangement, such as use of band and clips, screws or other suitable mounting member for removably mounting the radio device to the helmet.
