A communication unit comprises a command signal generator for generating a command signal. A transmitter transmits communication signals at one of two frequencies and for transmitting the command signal. A receiver receives communication signals at one of the two frequencies and for receiving the command signal. Upon initiation of the command signal, the command signal is transmitted for receipt by all active units in the system and the unit transmitting the command signal receives communication signals at a selected frequency of the two frequencies and transmits communication signals at another frequency. Upon reception of the command signal from another unit in the system, the unit receiving the command signal transmits a communication signal at the selected frequency of the two frequencies and receives communication signals at the another frequency.

What is claimed is: 1. A communication unit comprising: a command signal generator for generating a command signal; a transmitter for transmitting communication signals at one of two frequencies and for transmitting said command signal; and a receiver for receiving communication signals at one of said two frequencies and for receiving said command signal, whereby upon initiation of said command signal, said command signal is transmitted for receipt by all active units in a communication system and the unit transmitting said command signal receives communication signals at a selected frequency of said two frequencies and transmits communication signals at another frequency, and whereby upon reception of said command signal from another unit in the communication system, the unit receiving said command signal transmits a communication signal at said selected frequency of said two frequencies and receives communication signals at said another frequency, wherein the communication signal originating at the unit transmitting the command signal is combined with said received communication signals. 2. The communication unit according to claim 1 wherein said another frequency contains a spread-spectrum signal containing communication signals from all active users. 3. The communication unit according to claim 1 wherein said selected frequency contains a plurality of spread-spectrum signals each containing one communication signal from all active users excluding the active user which transmitted the command signal. 4. The communication unit according to claim 2 wherein the communication unit has a despreader for despreading said spread-spectrum signal transmitted at said another frequency. 5. The communication unit according to claim 3 wherein the communication unit has a plurality of despreaders for despreading the plurality of spread-spectrum signals transmitted at said selected frequency. 6. The communication unit according to claim 1 wherein said command signal is transmitted and received at a third frequency. 7. The communication unit according to claim 1 wherein said selected frequency is used by all active units except the command transmitting unit to transmit communication signals to the command transmitting unit and said another frequency is used to transmit from the command transmitting unit communication signals originating from all active units.
