Hi.
I don't know about the Drake R8, but the Drake R8A definitely can be
computer controlled. It has a DB9 connector right on the back of the radio
for that purpose. If you want to listen between 100 KHz and 30 MHz, it is
a superior receiver in many respects. I think that in your situation, you
might find the filtering in that radio to be quite nice for CW
reception. My only misgiving is that I thought it tended to have a little
more thermal drift than the Icom R75, but the filtering in the Drake was
definitely nicer.
