An antenna assembly, and an associated method, for a portable radio device, such as a mobile station. The antenna assembly includes a whip antenna transducer capable of translation between a retracted position and an extracted position. When positioned in the extracted position, a switch element interconnects the whip antenna transducer together with radio circuitry of the radio device. When positioned in a retracted position, the switch element, instead, connects the radio circuitry of the radio device to a non-movable antenna transducer, such as a patch or PIFA antenna transducer, housed within the housing of the radio device.
