David,

Mine drifts a bit when I first go to the band, but to solve that I just give it
a key down into a dummy load for about ten seconds to warm it up, because When
your not on the 2m band it is not powered.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but
I think that is what the manual says.  That seems to settle it down quite a bit.
However, I do wish it was a bit more stable.  Perhaps they are working on a
solution that will keep the xtals warmed up when you are on another band.  That
would be nice.

73,
