Multiple network mode selection devices

A multiple network mode selection device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a plurality of radio modules coupled to the processor and programmed to perform analog communication with a first radio network;
• and
• an input device coupled to the processor;
• a storage device coupled to the processor and storing one or more network determination processes;
• wherein the processor is directed to perform:
• simultaneously connecting the plurality of radio modules to the first radio network;
• executing a network determination process selected from the one or more network determination processes;
• in response to executing the network determination process, reprogramming a first radio module to perform analog communication with a second radio network, wherein the second radio network is incompatible with the first radio network;
• and
• connecting the first radio module to the second radio network for at least some time while others of the plurality of radio modules remain connected to the first radio network.

A method of selecting radio networks for a multiple network mode selection device, wherein the multiple network mode selection device comprises a first radio module, a second radio module, and a storage device, wherein the first radio module and the second radio module are programmed to perform analog communication with a first radio network, and wherein the storage device stores one or more network determination processes, the method comprising:

• simultaneously connecting the first radio module and the second radio module to the first radio network;
• executing a network determination process selected from the one or more network determination processes;
• in response to executing the network determination process, reprogramming the first radio module to perform analog communication with a second radio network, wherein the second radio network is incompatible with the first radio network;
• and
• connecting the first radio module to the second radio network for at least some time while the second radio module remains connected to the first radio network.
