Apparatus for securing a radome to a reflector , the apparatus comprising: (a) one or more metallic rims , each rim comprising: a circumferential body ; a first radial leg extending from a distal end of the circumferential body; a second radial leg extending from an intermediate location of the circumferential body, wherein the circumferential body and the first and second radial legs define a first cavity for receiving a periphery of the radome; a third leg extending from a proximate end of the circumferential body, wherein the circumferential body, the second radial leg, and the third leg define a second cavity for receiving a periphery of the reflector; and (b) one or more clamps , each configured to connect one or more pairs of adjacent rim ends together, wherein: the third leg has an angled portion configured to force the periphery of the reflector towards the second radial leg when the first cavity receives the periphery of the radome, the second cavity receives the periphery of the reflector, and the one or more clamps are applied, thereby connecting the one or more pairs of adjacent rim ends together, and wherein the angled portion of the third leg forces the periphery of the reflector to abut the second radial leg to form an RF seal between (i) the reflector and (ii) the one or more rims.
