Carry case having paging circuitry section

A carry case and a radio in combination, comprising:

• the carry case including,
• a housing having a retention area for receiving the radio,
• a first pager section located within the housing, the first pager section including an antenna for receiving electromagnetic signals and RF circuitry for converting the electromagnetic signals to electrical signals, and
• electrical interface contacts coupled with the first pager section;
• and the radio including,
• a radio interface portion having a second pager section including a pager controller and electrical interface contacts for coupling the second pager section to the carry case's electrical interface contacts, the radio interface portion conveying the electrical signals from the RF circuitry to the radio;
• and
• the radio interface portion when mated to the carry case allows for the first and second pager sections to form a pager that is fully functional.
