Hi Steve.

I don't think that radio is capable of being supported by Hamlib.
Radios like that have software that program memories into an EEPROM but
don't have CAT commands to change frequency, mode, or VFO like HF radios
do.  The Chirp project
(https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home) often provides
support for such radios but I don't see the '578 listed.

It's the design of the radio and whether it supports a command set such
as for the Kenwood TS-480:

that determines whether Hamlib supports it or not.
