METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SELECTIVELY ROUTING GROUP COMMUNICATIONS AMONGST MULTIPLE NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A first mobile radio comprising:
- a first wireless communication interface for communicating with a first wireless network;
a second wireless communication interface for communicating with a second wireless network;
a push-to-talk (PTT) key;
a processor; and
data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for causing the first mobile radio to carry out a set of functions, the set of functions comprising;
detecting a request to transmit group communication media and responsively;
determining whether the PTT key is in an activated or de-activated state;
selecting, as a function of the determined state of the PTT key, one of a first talkgroup on the first wireless network and a second talkgroup on the second wireless network as a target talkgroup to transmit the communication media to; and
transmitting, via a corresponding one of the first wireless communication interface and the second wireless communication interface, the communication media to the selected target talkgroup.

Abstract
A process carried out by a first mobile radio includes detecting a request to transmit group communication media and, responsively, determining, by the first mobile radio, whether a push-to-talk (PTT) key input is in an activated or de-activated state, selecting, by the first mobile radio and as a function of the determined state of the PTT key, one of a first talkgroup on a first wireless network and a second talkgroup on a second wireless network as a target talkgroup to transmit the communication media to, and transmitting, by the first mobile radio via a corresponding one of a first wireless communication interface to the first wireless network and a second wireless communication interface to the second wireless network, the communication media to the selected target talkgroup.
