The present invention is directed to a system for operating a network of digital radios comprising a digital radio configured with a Bluetooth type protocol. The digital radio further comprises a radio directory, with the radio directory operable to retrievably store radio reception information for a plurality of radios. The radio reception information comprises a unique identifier and Bluetooth address. The digital radio further comprises a radio directory handler, the directory handler configured to selectively retrieve radio reception information from the radio directory for a recipient radio and store the retrieved radio reception information in active memory for communication according to the Bluetooth protocol. The radio directory is preferably populated with radio reception information of a plurality of radios, with the radio reception information for each radio being based on the pairing process between a controller radio and a member radio. The radio directory is then distributed to each member radio, enabling direct communication among all radios in the radio directly. Optionally, the system includes a gateway where the network data can be bridged to external communication systems.
