What are you looking at doing once the radio is connected? Controlled, then yes. Panadapter, yes too a fashion.
Depends on what you are looking to achieve.

I would like to control the radio with the computer as my hands are a bit shaky so find it hard to tune the stations in i thought it would be easyer with the help of a computer ..

I think the cable is the CT-17, few quid on ebay, buy UK and ensure it’s fully Win7 /10 compatible.. There is a chap G0OYQ sells some good cables. Then Ham Radio Deluxe... Sure there are other software programs for free.

Here is a free one (not tried by me)

And a bit more reading:

It’s a starter but gives you something to kick off research with.

older versions of HRD were free, if you can get one of those it will work fine.
