Hasn't SCAMP already successfully demonstrated the technology for checking multiple modes prior to transmission?
Also, just because one cannot detect 1/2 of a QSO does not mean that one may not detect the other 1/2. If one truly cannot detect either side (with reasonable receive sensitivity and antenna gain employed) then one's legal transmission (only the minimum power necessary to establish and maintain communications) will not be capable of QRMing the existing QSO. If you cannot hear them they should not be able to hear you -- unless you are running an "alligator" station (transmit side not balanced with the receive side).
