The headset profile is standard Bluetooth, but the PTT isn't. They use BLE for that and i don't think anyone has documented which attributes or how to emulate it with a computer.
It also claims to have a serial port profile.
The mic jack has two modes, one of which uses the UART and is intended for the remote head. If CAT-like functionality is to be had, this is where you're going to find it.
This is the device I'm talking about here:
