The radio housing (150) includes a mount channel (156) to position the cantilever arm (130), and a ramped catch portion (157) within the mount channel (156) to engage the engaging portion (135) of the cantilever arm (130) and to secure the radio chassis (120) within the radio housing (150). The chassis (120) is mounted to the radio housing (150) such that the engaging portion (135) of the cantilever arm (130) is positioned within the mount channel (156). The engaging portion (135) of the cantilever arm (130) is biasedly engaged with the ramped catch portion (157), and is deflectable so as to disengage from the ramped catch portion (157) when a deflecting force is applied to the engaging portion (135).
