A method of and apparatus for implementing a radio retransmission bridge is disclosed. The method and apparatus includes devices and operations for creating a retransmission bridge software object with a base class application programming interface (API). The method and apparatus also includes devices and operations for creating waveforms with APIs inherited from the base class retransmission bridge API. The method and apparatus also includes devices and operations for identifying crossbanding waveforms being requested. Further, the method and apparatus include devices and operations for determining a location in a data stack in which to instantiate the retransmission bridge API, and instantiating the retransmission bridge API.
