Notecard Connects via USB but gets stuck in {cell-scan} when connected to Arduino

Hello All,

I am having an issue with an NBNAW Notecard in a Notecarrier X.

When connected to my PC via the web console everything works perfectly. The cellular modem connects to the network within 15 seconds or so without issue and all requests return the expected results.

However when I connect my MCU over i2c the notecard fails to connected. It becomes stuck in {cell-scan} and eventually enters the penalty box after many failed attempts to connect to the network.

All commands work fine, I can query the card and get expected results, so I dont believe theres an issue related to something weird happening the i2c bus. The power is supplied from a rather beefy 3.3v voltage converter which is in turn supplied with 12v from a wall adapter. The card itself reports a consistent 5v when queried using card.voltage, and I dont suspect its a brownout because the 3.3v converter is capable of handling much more current than the USB port on my PC.

I updated both the Notecard and the note-arduino library today to the newest version and it did not resolve the issue.

The MCU is a Pimoroni Pico Plus 2, which is centered around an RPi 2350 MCU that is currently running an arduino core for firmware.

Any input is appreciated as I am at a bit of a loss on how to resolve this.
