          Application No. 08/679,848                                                  


          transmissions from the communications service that have                     
          priority over the mobile unit.                                              
               Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it               
          reads as follows:                                                           
                    1.  A communication system for permitting the                     
               communications of a mobile unit in proximity to a                      
               communications service having priority over the                        
               communications of the mobile unit, said communication                  
               system comprising:                                                     
                    a priority service unit for providing                             
                    communications services including a receiver for                  
                    receiving signals in a frequency band and a                       
                    transmitter collocated with the priority service                  
                    unit receiver for transmitting signals in a                       
                    frequency band;                                                   
                    a mobile communications unit including a                          
                    transmitter for transmitting in the frequency band                
                    in which said priority service unit receives                      
                    signals;                                                          
                    an interference zone surrounding said priority                    
                    receiver such that the transmission by said mobile                
                    unit in said interference zone interferes with the                
                    operation of said priority service unit;                          
                    warning signal means connected to said priority                   
                    service unit for transmitting a warning signal from               
                    the priority service unit transmitter at a frequency              
                    band different than the frequency band of the                     
                    signals received by the priority service unit;                    
                         warning signal receiver means connected to said              
                    mobile communications unit for receiving said                     
                    warning signal;                                                   

                                          2
