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.
