During the handoff of a mobile unit (225) between a serving or source base-site (200) and a selected target base-site, (205 or 210) the target base-site (205 or 210) is directed to tune to and monitor the mobile unit's in progress call on a serving base-site channel frequency in order to verify target cell selection immediately before the handoff. Thereafter, the mobile unit (225) is directed to tune to a selected target base-site channel by the target base-site. Next, the target base-site (205 or 210) re-tunes itself to the selected target channel frequency and continues to transmit. Upon the arrival of the mobile unit onto the selected target channel, the serving base-site channel is released.
