A networked radio device, comprising: (a) a wireless network transceiver; (b) a land mobile radio signal connector; (c) an analog-to-digital converter/digital-to-analog converter (ADC/DAC) adapted for input/output with the LMR signal connector; and (d) a computer processor, comprising: (i) a sound architecture adapted for input/output with the ADC/DAC; and (ii) a server, comprising: a digital audio buffer adapted for input/output with the sound architecture; a voice-activity detector adapted for input from the digital audio buffer; a first daemon, adapted for input from the voice-activity detector, for output to the digital audio buffer, and for input/output with the wireless network transceiver, characterised in that the first daemon is configured to: collect data on one or more variables affecting a best-choice determination for transmitting a communications signal intended for retransmission to one or more LMR devices; and make the best-choice determination based on the data collected.
