    Abstract: Systems and methods for overriding ad hoc talkgroup auto-dropping. One example method includes determining whether a contextual condition for a portable communications device meets a talkgroup formation criterion associated with an ad hoc talkgroup, and, in response to determining that the contextual condition meets the talkgroup formation criterion, sending a talkgroup identifier identifying the ad hoc talkgroup to the device. The method includes receiving a contextual condition update for the device and determining whether the update meets the talkgroup formation criterion. The method includes, in response to determining that the update does not meet the talkgroup formation criterion, sending an audio mute command based on the talkgroup identifier and a notification requesting an override action to the device. The method includes, when an override action indication is received from the device during a standby period, sending an audio unmute command based on the talkgroup identifier to the device.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a success or failure of a software update is provided herein. When software is updated, part of the update process will require a radio to be configured to communicate on a new “update talkgroup”. As part of the update process, the user's device will send a short PTT bursts on the update talkgroup. If the PTT burst on the update talkgroup is received, it is assumed that the update was successful. If, however, the PTT burst on the update talkgroup is not received, it is assumed that the update was unsuccessful, stopping any further updates to other radios.
