[Drakelist] anyone checked the vfo stability on the R4C ??

Hi, although I use my R4C mainly for CW reception and use the PBT tune control so I listen to a lower than normal audio frequency maybe 300 HZ, my CW qso's usually don't last too long to detect much drift of the vfo. Has anyone checked the long term stability of the vfo?? and what results did
