1. A software-defined radio equipment that includes a hardware/module, implements radio equipment functions by downloading radio communication software that controls the hardware/module from an external source, and switches the radio communication software by using a distributed object, the software-defined radio equipment comprising:
a first means that transmits, when a hardware to be used by the radio communication software is selected from the hardware/module, first predetermined information of the selected hardware;
a second means that interrupts an execution of the radio communication software before selection when the selection is reselection and transmits second predetermined information of a selected hardware after the reselection; and
a third means that transmits predetermined information of a hardware that is currently being selected,
wherein if the selected hardware is the hardware that is currently being selected, an error is detected.
