This is used to be able to send the channel switch announcements that are queued from userspace out, yet not send dataframes in this same queue out. This is to avoid exceeding regulatory requirements for transmission time after radar has been detected. It's not ideal, but possibly neither is hanging on to the frames during the interval in which the channel changes hoping to find the same station there.
