          Appeal No. 2000-2261                                                        
          Application 08/730,670                                                      

               Representative claim 1 is reproduced below:                            
               1.  A radio transmitter/receiver for selectively transmitted           
          digitally modulated signals in a digital mode or analog modulated           
          signals in an analog mod comprising:                                        
               digital signal processing means having an input for                    
          receiving an information signal, a first output for supplying an            
          In-phase modulating signal I and a second output for supplying a            
          Quadrature modulating signal Q;                                             
               quadrature modulation means coupled to the first and second            
          outputs for digitally modulating a carrier frequency in the                 
          digital mode to produce a digitally modulated signal; and                   
               analog modulation means coupled to the first and second                
          output for generating an analog modulation of a carrier frequency           
          in the analog mode to produce an analog modulated signal, wherein           
          said In-phase modulating signal I and said Quadrature modulating            
          signal Q bypass said quadrature modulation means in order to                
          produce said analog modulated signal.                                       
               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Nonami                        5,251,232           Oct.  5, 1993             
          Denheyer et al.                                                             
          (Denheyer)                    5,642,378           June 24, 1997             
                                             (filing date Nov. 17, 1994)              
               As a result of more recent prosecution between the parties             
          in this application after the final rejection, the following                
          issues remain for our consideration.  Claims 1, 7, 26, 27 and 30            
          stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by             
          Denheyer.  Lastly, claims 1, 2, 6 and 7 stand rejected under                
          35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies           
          upon Nonami in view of Denheyer.
