microHAM has provided "cross brand" support for mixing transceivers
and amplifiers for a dozen years or more starting with the original
microHAM Band Decoder. Icom has been the default interface for
serial (CAT) controls while Yaesu (BCD) has been the default interface
for "Band Data" control.
Since the current OM Power transceivers support Icom interfacing, it
is the obvious choice with microHAM interfaces and has been since the
earliest serial controlled OM Power amplifiers (those that did not
provide for CAT pass-through). Using the Icom controls is far more
reliable than using a "Y" connection on a RS-232 connection; it avoids
issues with loading RS-232 circuits and the isolated CI-V Transceive
emulation provided by the microHAM interface avoids issues with
collisions/corrupted commands on a shared CI-V bus.

I have no idea where you're getting this idea to interface as if it's a PW-1??
OM Power has supported Elecraft for many years. Why not review the OM Power
manual's recommendation before making up an answer?

Don is off base when he talks about a system using a microHAM
product. Configure your station as shown in the application note
"Using the Icom PW-1"

The connection diagram for microKEYER II is here:

You simply configure the amplifier as if it was connected to
an Icom transceiver - that information is generally in the
instruction manual
