Abstract

A portable radio transceiver selectively transmits and/or receives RF signals in two frequency bands and in two modes of operation. The radio transceiver selectively switches between two antennas for operating in either of the two modes, such as a handheld mode of operation using the transceiver's on-board antenna and battery, or a car mode of operation using an external antenna and battery. Either antenna can transmit and/or receive RF signals in the two frequency bands, such as PCS and cellular, for example.
