The choke worked but the real fix was going to a bluetooth wireless mouse. No RFI issues since going wireless.

I used to lock up my XYL's iMac in the other end of the house when I ran 
more than 100-200 watts on low bands.
The Apple corded mouse was the culprit in that case as well.

I tried winding the Apple mouse cord on a ferrite core but it didn't 
help. My fix was a cheap USB mouse from Target to replace the Apple mouse.

Works great - no problems now even running QRO.
