"As with most TNC's it will "hold off" transmitting if it believes that the 
frequency is in use.  Due to the close proximity of antennas in a Rover, it is 
quite likely that operation in the narrowband segment will "self-QRM" the 
CU2QSO transceiver, causing it to believe that the channel is in use; thereby 
holding off a transmission until after the narrowband transmission is 
completed.  Alternately, PTT circuits may be employed to assure that -- when 
another 2 meter transceiver is PTT'd -- the CU2QSO TNC is powered-off.  This 
will absolutely guarantee full compliance.  It is suggested that each Rover 
test their system against the first method before adding the complexity of the 
second method"
