The 706 is supported with Scancat Gold SE. You will have to run it on windows 32 bit if I remember correct. The program was written a few years back. I use to use it with my scanners. http://www.scancat.com/scg-win2.html http://www.scancat.com/

There is a way to program the 706 via computer, but it is rather awkward. A ham here in Connecticut was working on a beta version years ago, I have a copy of it somewhere. The main problem was that you could not program CTCSS (PL) tones with the computer. His method was to program 32 memories with the 32 possible memory tones. When you wanted to program an FM frequency with PL tone the program would recall the memory that had the proper PL tone, reprogram the frequencies, then write it to a different memory location. This is all possible via the computer CI-V interface. The downside is that you wasted 32 of the possible 99 memories. With some fancy software code you could probably cut this down to a few memories that had the most popular PL tones in your area, freeing up the remaining memories for memory locations.
He eventually, like many skilled programmers, got bored and moved on to another project. The program remains unfinished.

Correct, 706 is not programmable from a PC.

Would be nice but as far as i know the 706 cant be pc programed.
