Abstract: An improved communication system is disclosed wherein at least one reprogramming station is added to a communication system. The reprogramming station is constructed and arranged to communicate with the subscriber units thereby either reprogramming or regrouping them. The subscribing units receive the reprogramming command and acknowledge individually, altering a memory means until either reprogrammed back to the original state, or to another state. In another mode, the reprogramming station transmits a regrouping command wherein two or more groups are combined to form a super group.

Abstract: Switching system for use with a radio transmitter or the like to adapt the same for operation at two different power levels, including a flexible circuit connected to stages of the transmitter and to a switch to control the power level of the signal transmitted. The flexible circuit is very thin so that it can be positioned within the radio housing on the circuit board, and connected to terminals on the board and on the switch. The flexible circuit includes transmission line sections for making matched impedance connections to the transmitter stages for low power loss. The flexible circuit adjusts to take care of tolerances in the position of the terminals to which it is connected.
