Abstract
A portable transceiver includes a transceiver body including a microphone, and an earphone including an earphone body physically separated from the transceiver body when in use, and a cord. The cord has one end connected to the transceiver body and the other end connected to the earphone body. A communication cable extends between the transceiver body and a portable wireless means. A holder is releasably secured to the communication cable so as to hold the earphone body in position. The earphone is thus integral with the transceiver body when not in use and can be carried with the transceiver without the need to store the earphone in a user's pocket. This allows the user to have ready access to the earphone whenever necessary.
