A radio telephone uses a signal indicating the strength of received communication signals as a measure of prevailing signal propagation conditions to control the gain of a power amplifier in its transmitter. Where conditions are favorable, the gain can be reduced without deleterious effects on transmitted signals, and with a resulting savings in power drain on the radio telephone's power supply (e. g., batteries). In this way, talktime on a single battery charge can be significantly lengthened. Where conditions are adverse, e.g., at outlying or fringe areas of a cellular telephone system of which the radio telephone is a station, the gain can be increased to produce stronger transmitted signals, at times extending the effective coverage area of such systems. Preferably, the output of the power amplifier remains at all times within a power range prescribed by applicable standards, and is increased or decreased within the power range in accordance with prevailing conditions indicated by the received signal strength signal.
