  • Publication number: 20150271309
    Abstract: The systems and methods of the present invention allow a radio communications device to attach to a mobile device via a protective case, the protective case housing the radio device and mobile device. When interconnected with the radio device, the mobile device may use Software Defined Radio capabilities to direct the radio device to perform a number of operations. For example, the mobile device may direct the radio device to receive weather information to be displayed on the mobile device, to act as a radio scanner, to provide two-way radio communications with a separate radio device, and/or to record the aforementioned communications on the mobile device. Moreover, the mobile device, acting through the radio device, may increase the power output efficiency of the interconnected devices. The mobile device may further identify a whitespace channel through which radio communications may be facilitated.
