Abstract: Communications systems containing a Push-To-Talk (PTT) device containing an auxiliary audio component are described in this application. The communication system can be worn by an operator and comprises a radio, a headset, a communication device (such as a cellular phone), and a Push-To-Talk (PTT) device modified with an auxiliary audio component capable of overriding or controlling communication between the headset and the communication device when a signal is transmitted to or received from the radio. The modified PTT device allows the operator of the system when wearing the headset to use the communication device (i.e., cellular phone) without the fear of interrupting communication with the radio. Other embodiments are described.
