Abstract
A mobile or transportable device for radio communications includes at least one antenna; a radio operating component coupled with the at least one antenna for receiving and/or transmitting radio signals; a database containing radio communication parameters of fixed location radio communication facilities; a location determining component for determining its current location; and a computer component coupled with the radio operating component, the database and the location determining component, configured such that when a radio signal received by the radio operating component from one of the fixed location radio communication facilities is weaker than a threshold value, the computer component searches the database to find radio communication parameters of a fixed location radio communication facility that is the closest radio communication facility to the current location, and operably retunes the mobile or transportable device according to the radio communication parameters of the closest radio communication facility.
