Morphology
The compound 'radio chassis' is directly built from 'radio' (the device) and 'chassis' (the metal frame), so the meaning — the frame that holds a radio's components — is immediately derivable from its parts. This is a straightforward, compositional noun-noun compound following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
Radio chassis comes from the same idea as a car chassis: a strong frame that holds a vehicle's engine and parts. So a radio chassis is the metal frame that holds a radio's parts, which is why it means 'the supporting frame that holds the components of a radio'.
