Abstract
A portable transceiver includes a two-piece transceiver housing which encloses a double-sided printed circuit board. The transceiver housing includes a front surface portion and a control panel portion which is integral with, but recessed below, the front surface portion. Within the control panel portion are four clearance apertures which provide operator access to the operator controls of the printed circuit board. The width and depth of the housing are suitably sized to enable the portable transceiver to be hand held in one hand while the thumb of that same hand is able to manipulate the various operator controls. These controls protrude through the various clearance apertures yet the outermost portions of the controls remain flush with to recessed below the front surface portion. The printed circuit board is a self-contained transceiver such that all wiring is completed prior to installing the printed circuit board into the transceiver housing.
