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.
