Thanks Guys!  I had given up on this.  I used a Timewave Hamlink USB cable and YPlog.  I downloaded the memories in my 706 (which has an HF problem) and will upload them to my 706MkII replacement.  I ended up adding the offset manually (600k wouldn't work, I used -0.6 and 0.6). I tested the process by clearing and then loading the 706 and it worked great!
 
Sorry for OT, but wanted to thank the contributors.  So the 706 memories can be loaded by PC.  Would be nice if Chirp supported the radio.  I'm using chirp for several other radios and I could just use the same base file.  Guess it's not OT now.  :-)

Ok,
problem solved.

I ordered a new cable, there are 2 cables out there, an old one for about $6 and a new one for $12, the new cable works perfect both on a windows PC and my MAC.  Its a great combination, easy to pgm, I really like and recommend this little package.  Let me know if someone has a problem, I know the setup buy now.

YPlog will program the memories OF A 706. I think it is still available.

Correct, 706 is not programmable from a PC.

They have not set it up to work with the 706 MKIIG.  

<list snipped> Thanks, Brad.  Confirms what I feared.  I had seen that list, but didn't know how old it was.


Now to find something that does work with the 706.

As for the 897, by the time I got things hooked up correctly, and used the correct sequence, just the reverse of the download, I got the file into the rig.

Darn ! !good program, CHIRP!

Grateful for it, and for the group's help/support.
