Standalone radio system patching device

A method for managing audio signal routing for a radio communication system, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of audio signals via a plurality of ports associated with the radio communication system detecting by a control;
• detecting, by a control circuit, a received audio signal via one of the plurality of ports;
• assigning, by the control circuit, a transmission priority to the received audio signal;
• routing, by a signal routing component, the received audio signal to a selected port of the radio communication system;
• interrupting, by an output control component, an incoming audio signal in response to the transmission priority of the incoming audio signal being lower than the transmission priority of the received audio signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor of a radio pathing device, cause the processor to:

• receive audio signals via a plurality of radio ports associated with respective radio communication systems;
• detect an audio signal received via one of the radio ports;
• assign a transmission priority to the detected audio signal;
• and
• control an output component to suppress transmission of any other audio signal having a lower transmission priority than the detected audio signal.
