A receiver assembly for detecting electromagnetic waves or signals over a board frequency range includes a receiver, associated antennas and a carrying case within which the receiver and antennas are contained. The carrying case includes first and second side portions and a carrier board which are hingedly connected together for movement between a condition for storage and a condition for use at which the carrier board is positioned remote of the first case side portion. The antennas are mounted upon the carrier board, and the receiver is mounted within the first side portion of the case so that when the assembly is opened for use, the antennas are supported by the case remote of the receiver. The likelihood of noise production by the receiver circuitry due to the closeness of the antennas to the circuitry and the likelihood that an operator of the receiver will interfere with or distort signals that are transmitted toward the antennas are substantially reduced by the aforementioned support of the antennas remote of the receiver circuitry.

A receiver assembly comprising: a carrying case having first and second side portions which are hingedly joined to one another along adjacent edges for movement between opened and closed conditions, the first of the case side portions providing a receptacle having an opening which is covered by the second side portion when the first and second side portions are in the closed condition, said second side portion having one edge which is hingedly joined to said first side portion and an edge opposite said one edge, said one edge and said opposite edge of said second side portion being substantially parallel to one another; the case further including a carrier board having an edge which is hingedly joined to said second side portion along said opposite edge thereof for hinged movement between a condition of non-use at which the board and second side portion are positioned together in a compact arrangement and the carrier board fits within the case defined by the first and second side portions when the case is closed and a condition of use at which the board extends outwardly form said second side portion which is about equal to the distance between said one edge and said opposite edge of said second side portion; a receiver mounted within the receptacle of the first case side portion so that when the first and second side portions are in the opened condition, the receiver is exposed for use; and antenna means operatively connected to the receiver for detecting signals for transmission to the receiver and being supportedly attached to the carrier board for movement therewith as the board is moved between its conditions of use and non-use so that when the first and second case side portions are in the opened condition and the carrier board is positioned in its condition of use, the antenna means are spaced from the receiver by a distance which is at least as great as the distance between said one edge and said opposite edge of said second side portion.
