In connection with an RF communication system, exemplary aspects may involve a method and apparatus for use in a communication system in which a RF receiver may be detecting and processing a first signal in an RF channel. Thereafter, a second received signal may be detected, with the second received signal being assessed, by receiver circuitry, as stronger than the first received signal. In response to the assessment of the second received signal being stronger than the first received signal, the RF receiver circuitry may adjust the gain or signal amplification circuitry for continuing to process the second, stronger, received signal in place of the first, weaker, received signal.
