Abstract
Abstract According to the invention, a carry holder for carrying a portable two-way radio provides the interconnections between the portable radio and a accessory device. The carry holder provides the interconnection between the portable radio's universal connector and the accessory device's accessory connector. When the radio is placed in the carry holder, the radio's universal connector engages the carry holder, which is coupled to the accessory device. Therefore, a quick engagement and disengagement mechanism for the radio and the accessory device is provided.
