Patent ID: 8897721

Claim:
A device comprising: a transceiver that transmits and receives using a plurality of communication bands; an auxiliary receiver that communicates using a first communication band of the plurality of communication bands when the auxiliary receiver is selectively activated; a data storage structure that stores data indicating operational capabilities of the transceiver, the operational capabilities comprising a set of communication bands of the plurality of communication bands on which the transceiver communicates when the auxiliary receiver is selectively activated; and a controller that controls operation of the transceiver by selecting a communication band from the set of communication bands based on the data in the data storage structure when the auxiliary receiver is activated, wherein the transceiver communicates using an initial communication band of the plurality of communication bands when the auxiliary receiver is not activated, and wherein the controller alters the initial communication band on which the transceiver communicates if the initial communication band is not one of the set of communication bands when the auxiliary receiver is activated.
