Methods and systems are provided which store frequency settings before switching frequencies, for example, before assignment to the traffic channel when switching between a ground station and another mobile station), thus, making it possible to recall the previous frequency setting and then only perform a second pass of the synchronization process or no synchronization at all. By storing the frequency setting, either as an offset to a given frequency or as an absolute frequency for each system to be monitored, the stored frequency setting can be re-used when subsequently monitoring a system.

[ That which is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of rapidly synchronizing a wireless device, utilizing a single reference frequency, to at least two received signals, the method comprising the steps of:determining a time varying phase offset between a first received signal from a first source device and the single reference frequency so as to provide a first received signal phase offset;determining a time varying phase offset between a second received signal from a second source device and the single reference frequency so as to provide a second received signal phase offset;synchronizing to the first received signal utilizing the first received signal phase offset by applying the first phase offset to the single reference frequency; andsynchronizing to the second received signal by applying the second phase offset to the single reference frequency.
