Hi Andy,
This is most likely caused by a variable speed motor controller. The
first thing to try is ferrite chokes on the power cord and any other
wiring (like a thermostat) leaving the units. If that doesn't fix it,
you'll need to go inside to choke the cable between the controller and
the motor. It's also a good idea to call Trane and ask them for a fix.
Mfrs of stuff like this often have RFI kits. But try the ferrite chokes
before you spend any real money on them.
Congrats on your excellent work so far.
