Shortly after departure, the Cessna 404 crew were advised of the inbound Fairchild SA227, however the crews were unable to communicate due to CTAF frequency congestion. In anticipation of a possible conflict, both crews adjusted their vertical profiles. Communication was established just prior to the aircraft passing in close proximity.
