Can you please define "short-term", Wayne? Is it 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes of transmitting?

Thanks,
Olli

When the extended temperature compensation is performed, short-term stability 
on 2 meters is about +/- 10 Hz, more than adequate for FM/AM/CW/SSB and some 
data modes.

Hello,

Why would a little instability be a problem on CW or SSB?
I mean, you could be off 200Hz in CW and that wouldn't be too much of a
problem. I used to own a K1 and it was all over the place until it
warmed up, never prevented me from making contact and rag-chewing..
Same for SSB.. You just need to turn the knob a little until the
temperature stabilizes. It's a DDS VFO, still much better than a regular
one. For some digital modes, I understand, but otherwise, who cares...?
