hmm wierd another source in our home for birdies is the front loading washer, its another badie Its motor is some kind of DC servo or VF-AC. With the variation that you are seeing It may be something with a motor. It tends to be problematic on 80 and 40. and I believe they are moving, i dont have the p3 so I cant say for sure but it seems so when I see it in the puny view that EasyPal offers.
