Abstract
A combined cellular smart-mic and LMR radio terminal is operated to give preference to one wireless bearer over the other. A voice call is often received both on the cellular bearer and the LMR bearer. It is then determined if the cellular or LMR bearer is preferred for calls. The call continues on the preferred bearer only while the same call on the non-preferred bearer is discontinued. The non-preferred call can be muted, disabled or ended for example. The preferred bearer may be determined by signal quality, user location, network priority or user settings, for example.
