Could be coming from the power supply? Sometimes simple clip on chokes are not enough either. I have a similar problem here on 20M I have dual (Identical) monitors . One has an irritating but not debilitating  spur on 20 the other doesn't ..If I swap the monitors the spur follows the monitor. Have tried a handful of ferrites to no avail so it is likely "radiated" IMO  and not conducted.

A few ideas might be helpful here.  I was at the station over the weekend and 
found a significant amount of noise coming from one of two computers in the 
station.  Significant noise S5 at 1820.  One computer runs the cluster and 2m 
connection.  That was clean.  The other handles most of the remote chores and 
has about 15 USB serial devices attached.  Everything was off, except a battery 
operated transceiver attached to the receive antenna feed, the modem for the 
cable and my router.  One can definitely see that operating the computer, 
closing windows or plugging in USB devices causes the modulation on the signal 
to change, this isolating the source to the computer alone and possible 
connections to peripherals (they were all turned off by the way).  I did have 
few chokes available but attaching them to the USB wires out of the computer to 
their various devices made no improvement.  I could get more specific but need 
to leave for my office now.  Any ideas might be helpful and appreciat
