A communication system includes a pack of portable radios (112), a deployable infrastructure (160, 170), and a unitary package for shipping and storing the pack of portable radios and deployable infrastructure for on-site configuration of the communication system without the use of local infrastructure and without prior knowledge of communication system operation. The package (110) includes a carry tray (502) with slots (506) for retaining each individual radio of the pack, each slot including charger contacts for charging each portable radio, the charger contacts also providing programming contacts for programming each radio on-site prior to deployment of the system. For radios operating on disposable battery cells, programming can be accomplished via the tray or via automatic downloading of programming information either from the battery or through a wireless network provided by the deployable infrastructure.
