First Claim
Patent Images
1. In an arrangement of a mobile radio and a portable radio, wherein both radios transmit and receive digitally on a communication resource, and wherein the mobile radio has a first ID, a method for muting the portable radio, comprising the steps of:
- at the portable radio, wherein the first ID is stored within the portable radio;
(a) receiving a transmission that was transmitted by transmitting radio having a second ID, wherein the transmission includes at least the second ID;
(b) determining the second ID of the transmitting radio based on the transmission; and
(c) when the second ID of the transmitting radio matches the first ID of the mobile radio, muting a speaker volume of the portable radio, thereby avoiding acoustic feedback between the portable radio and the mobile radio.

Abstract
When a portable radio (110) receives a transmission from a mobile radio (105), the portable radio (110) mutes a speaker volume of the portable radio (110) for a duration of the transmission from the mobile radio (105). In an arrangement of the mobile radio (105) and the portable radio (110) where both radios transmit and receive on a same communication resource channel and both radios are in close proximity, acoustic feedback may be avoided.
