摘要

A multifunction push-to-activate system (40) can include a push to activate (PTx) button (22) on a communication transceiver (20) for activating one among a plurality of communication functions and an indicator (24) for providing an indication among when a particular function is ready to be activated and which among the plurality of communication functions will be activated upon user activation of the PTx button. The plurality of functions can include push-to-talk, push-to-listen, push-to-view, push-to-send, or push-to-link to a network site functions. The indicator can include a display capable of displaying text or other information or alternatively includes a color indicator operating cooperatively with a main display (36) coupled to the communication transceiver. The system can also grant the communication function activated by the user activation of the PTx button greater priority over other communication functions.
