Cellular to WiFi handover
As with other Android based devices, the DN radio will automatically move to WIFi if a previously configured Network is available (and is enabled)
Squelch Tight: When enabled, the radio will prefer cellular over a WiFi network whose signal strength has become to low for reliable voice communication. This option is found under the WiFi configuration menu.
