The specs for frequency stability are not good enough for the JT65 modes (+/- 1 
ppm typical over 0-50 C). On 2m, that would be +/- 144Hz. The extended 
temperature compensation improves that, but it will never be as stable as a K3 
with an external reference.

Did you expect it to perform much, much better than the specs?

The FT-817 specs are: ± 4 ppm from 1 min. to 60 min. after power on. 25° C: 1 
ppm/hour
