Not in micro2R which does not have CAT for either radio.  Read the
User Manuals before you make incorrect statements.  The micro2R
ACC outputs respond only to microHAM Protocol commands when u2R
is using microHAM control protocol.  That is *another* point of
differentiation between MK2R+ and micro2R.
