I have been trying to use different software to control my Argonaut VI rigs that I use with VHF transverters.  It seems that when I plug a USB Cable into the back of the radios, and turn on the rig, and then turn on the computer, the computer loads the device driver, and this seems to affect the SSB and AM modes of the receiver, but not so much when it is run on CW.  There seems to be a great deal of popping noise, and distortion so that I cannot even copy stations or beacons when using LSB or USB.  The noise is there even on CW, but it is much less.  This renders my Argo VI radios useless on voice or digital modes.  When I unplug the USB cable, the noise stops or is greatly reduced.  It does this with USB cables that are plain but shielded, and with those with ferrite chokes installed.  This has been plaguing my station for months.  Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?  I have 3 Argo VI rigs, one with the older driver, and two with the newer driver.  It works the same on all three radios.

Help?
