They work fine using the Elecraft Y cables or you can make your own
break out cable that routs the Band Data, Key Out and Aux Bus signals
to the KPA500/KAT500 with the FSK and PTT (key In) pins going to the
microHAM Device.

I'm sure Tom is looking for the CAT data (from the RS-232 port) since
that is what the Acom 2000 needs - not "Band Data" (BCD).  That's a
more difficult configuration and would require access to the equipment
to experiment/validate a configuration.  One would expect Acom to be
able to provide the necessary information/support.
