Abstract
In a two-way radio communications system wherein subscriber units are provided with multiple features from the software running on a server, a user interface of the subscriber unit permits the subscriber unit user to change the control state of the server software depending on different types of actuations of the user interface. In the preferred embodiment, one, two or more 'clicks' on a momentary input switch, as well as pushing and holding and releasing the input switch can be used to select or de-select between multiple services and applications provided to the subscriber unit by the server software.
