I'm new to all this so bear with me . I've just got a cat cable for my 897 what program/software do I need for digi modes etc. Also would I be able to receive dmr etc ?
Cheers

You will need to get yourself a digital interface as well as a CAT cable.
I use Digimaster Pro from G4ZLP, but there are lots to choose from and they are not to difficult to make yourself.
The software packages I use are
Digipan for PSK31
JT65dx for JT65
WSJT-X for FT8
These are all free but can be tricky to setup.
Ham Radio Deluxe will do most jobs. I believe there is still a free version, but the latest will cost around $100.
A good start is to read this.
