Hi I have an old model RCI 2950 That drifts almost 10KC when it gets warm. I have searched the forum and can only find something on the 2980 drifting. Could this be the same problem? I would appreacheat any help. Thanks! Tim.

WOW .....

I don't like the 2950 but never had a drift problem .... How did you measure the drift ?
The only time I have ever seen a PLL go unstable was when the voltage regulator was not working ...
