You'll need:

1) A way to get sound from the computer to the radio
2) A way to get sound from the radio to the computer
3) A way to key PTT from the computer.

#1 and #2 may be solved easily if it has headphone and mic jacks.  #3 
may be more complicated, though you may be able to use VOX.  The precise 
circuits needed vary by radio.
