Any kind of busy detection circuit will need to provide detection for the entire band of frequencies you are going to be transmitting in. In fact, this was one of my recommendations to the ARRL. It should not be as much of a problem as you have with Pactor since the mode will likely have one

Just a few thoughts: * A busy detector is not a panacea for all qrm, especially as you look at the lower bands. I can easily lay out a scenario for 80 meters or daytime on 40m where the PMBO should transmit when the freq is busy. This scenario happens less as you expand the skip zones on the
