A housing structure for a portable radio is composed of a hollow housing section with an open bottom, a base section dimensioned to mate with and close the bottom of the housing section and a printed circuit board mounted on the base section through a locking mechanism. The base section also includes a section for receiving a battery. A removable cover, releaseably locked to the housing section, covers the battery receiving section. Contacts electrically interconnect the battery in the battery receiving section with the printed circuit board, making the radio operable without mating the base section with the housing section. The base section may be provided with a bottom casing portion for storing optional elements such as a vibrator or antenna. A holder structure with a notch for a battery may be either removably or integrally attached to the housing section. The removable holder structure is configured to permit insertion and removal of a battery while the holder structure is engaging the housing section. |
