Yes, it is.  We are hot on the trail of this thing, and I understand the
circuitry in the LED panel.  If anyone else would care to ohm out their
sender and send me the results (specifying also how your lights behave) I
would appreciate it.  I will publish the results.

Malcolm, don't bother -- 97.30 is for the older method with electrodes in
the tank.  But please do tell me what your lights actually do with the
float in various positions.  I have good hopes of developing a systematic fix.
