Claim 5:
6. A selectively handsfree communications system comprising:
a first vehicle;
a first radio mounted in the first vehicle, the first radio comprising a microprocessor, a transceiver, and a control panel, the transceiver and the control panel being operationally engaged to the microprocessor, wherein the first radio is configured for selective two-way communication with one or both of a base station and at least one second radio positioned in a second vehicle;
a first switch operationally engaged to the control panel;
a second switch engaged to a floorboard of the first vehicle, the second switch being operationally engaged to the first radio and the first switch, wherein the second switch is positioned for being actuated by a foot of an operator of the first vehicle; and
programming code selectively positionable on a microprocessor of the first radio enabling the microprocessor for accepting signals from the first switch and the second switch, wherein the first switch is configured for switching for signaling the microprocessor for operating the first radio in a handsfree operational mode by operation of the second switch, wherein a microphone and a transceiver of the first radio are actuated upon actuation of the second switch.
