A communication deviceand a corresponding method are arranged for changing the radiation pattern of an antenna, where the radiation pattern of the antennais set to a half-space pattern if the communication deviceis in close proximity to an object. A reflectoris activated to produce the half space radiation pattern. The reflectoris deactivated to produce the full space pattern. A switching devicedetermines the state of the reflector. A sensing and control devicecontrols the state of the switching device

Wireless communication device with variable antenna radiation pattern and corresponding method

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.

A band (or eyelet) (16 or 17) is crimped onto a cable (12) so as to form at least one flange (18 or 19). The flange (18 or 19) is received in a slot between fingers (23) of a receptacle (20) so as to provide both longitudinal and rotational strain relief.
