John,

The first step to solving RF-in-the-shack problems is to work on your 
antenna system.  Better common mode chokes on your feedline(s).
See the information by Jim Brown K9YC at 
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf.

If you still have problems after taking those measures, then use ferites 
on cables as a last resort solution.

The reason I say this is because if you have RF interfering with the 
wiring in your station, you likely have similar interference on all 
wires in your station - you can fix one or two, but another similar 
problem will rear its ugly head later on.
If you fix the problem at its source, you will fix a lot of "strange 
behaviors".
