  • Method and apparatus for enabling dual control head operation of a mobile radio transceiver
    Patent number: 7142825
    Abstract: An apparatus and corresponding method for enabling the use of a plurality of control heads for operating a transceiver designed to operate with a single control head via a data bus. An interface module is connected between the transceiver and the plurality of control heads that periodically generate an interrupt request. The interface module, responsive to the interrupt requests, selectively enables one of the control heads to operate the radio transceiver. The method includes polling communication from the control heads and transceiver for mediating control of the transceiver. In one embodiment, accessibility of the radio system is improved and cost reduced by utilizing the speaker and volume control of each control head, such that an external speaker is not required.
