1. In a selective call radio operating in a communication system comprising a plurality of communication zones, a method of minimizing handovers between the selective call radio and the plurality of communication zones, comprising the steps of:

  • measuring a temperature of the selective call radio receiving radiated signals from a first one of the plurality of communication zones;

    measuring in the selective call radio an in-service signal power based on the radiated signals;

    determining a modified signal power from the in-service signal power and an in-service signal power correction factor corresponding to the temperature; and

    performing a handover by the selective call radio from the first one of the plurality of communication zones to a second one of the plurality of communication zones if the modified signal power and a handover threshold satisfy a predetermined condition.
