software for r8b
 

can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of the r8b being controlled by my
computer and what sort of hardware do i
need to make this work? is there any free software that i can get online?

also is there any way to reduce or elliminate the interference between my
computer and my radio?
when i'am using my radio and then turn on my computer i get alot of static
or electrical noise coming from my radio.

thanks
