[Ham-Mac] Right-Click Test

[Dick Kriss]

Problem Solved!!   Used a small washer like ferrite thing with two
turns around the USB cable where the Mighty Mouse plugs into the
keyboard and the fldigi right-click works FB now.

The next step is to strip a better looking ferrite off one of the
old modem cables.  

Thanks to Jeff N8NOE and John K8AJS for the reminder to try
the ferrite fix. It worked!

With fldigi I am sometimes unable to get the right-click popup menu

At first I thought  this maybe a bug in fldigi until other non Macintosh
fldigi users indicated they could not reproduce the problem so I have
assumed it was most likely an RFI issue.

Mine now works fine on this Intel iMac with the corded Mighty
Mouse as long as I keep power down to 5 watts.  I have never
had an RFI issue with the iMac - even at full power.

The purpose of this posting is to request some feedback from other
Mac users to find out if the RFI issue is unique to my setup, the iMac
or the Mighty Mouse.  My suspicion is the corded Apple Mighty Mouse
may be the problem.

The reason I am interested is because in a contest you need to
have the ability to select and enter your received exchange while
you are sending your report to the other station.  I now have to
wait (or just type in) for my exchange being sent to finish before
I can get the right click popup menu selector to work.
