Abstract
Abstract A portable radio unit includes guide grooves extending in the longitudinal direction, on both the sides thereof. A step portion in a part of at least one of the guide grooves has a width which is greater than the guide grooves. A mount for the portable radio has an integral back plate, side plates, and a guide plate for slidably engaging the guide grooves. A notch portion is formed on one of the guide plates. A latch is secured on the outside of one of the side plates for engaging the step portion and fixing the position of the portable unit when it is completely received in the mount. Thus, the carrying mount can retain and hold the portable radio unit without projections which might pose any danger to the operator and there are no restrictions on the appearance and the design of the portable unit.
