Yes it is true!

I recall from the CPL and ATPL theory (and this is very theoretical!)that the interference indeed happens at multiples of 360.

A bearing from a VOR is calculated from the difference in phrase signals being received from from the VOR reference signal, and a bearing signal.

This difference, received in your VOR, is then translated into a Bearing. Obviously to a maximum of 360 degrees.

Anything more and you will have to look it up the theory books!

Hence you seeing this interference at 1800 rpm (360 times 5).
