The PW-1 will bandswitch based on CI-V data or a variable DC voltage. The microHAM Band Decoder (if you can find one) and microHAM Station Master can provide the K3 CAT to Icom CI-V conversion. microHAM microKEYER II also has an auxiliary CI-V output that will provide current frequency data to bandswitch a PW-1.
If you so not want to do the CAT conversions, it is necessary to build a BCD to variable voltage decoder. I have done as design that will provide either variable voltage for the Icom 2KL/4KL/PW1 or one of six output for the TenTec Hercules or Ameritron ALS-600 but it is not available in commercial form. QST determined that an article on the interface "would not be of sufficiently general interest" and I have not had time to arrange to have the project turned into a kit. Send me a direct e-mail and I'll send a copy of the schematic. 73, ...
