A radio receiver (110) can be coupled to first and second external devices (345) for communication therewith. A method in the radio receiver (110) for processing and forwarding received messages comprises the steps of determining a number of errors included in a first message and determining that the first external device (345) is coupled to the radio receiver (110). The method further comprises the step of comparing the number of errors included in the first message to a first value associated with the first external device (345) in response to determining that the first external device (345) is coupled to the radio receiver (110). Thereafter, the first message is provided to the first external device (345) when the number of errors included in the first message is less than the first value.

A radio receiver (110) for receiving messages from a plurality of sources includes a message database (252) for storing the messages and sources from which the messages originate and a processing unit (220) for determining whether each source has a status of anchored or unanchored. The processing unit (220) further flags last received messages from anchored sources to indicate that the last received messages are anchored messages which are to be deleted only after deletion of unanchored messages which are not flagged as anchored messages.
