That sounds much more like a mechanical issue.

I had something very similar and decided it was time for a PTO re-build; that cured it!

Thanks Jerry - very helpful.  The drift isn't so much a steady increase or
decrease over extended time, but rather, both up and down frequency
variation by +/- 100 Hz or so, within a span of several seconds.  This
continues intermittently, even after the rig has been on for half an hour or
more.

I'm going to see if I can find a donor PTO that I can take some time to
thoroughly rebuild, so I can continue to enjoy the Corsair II in its current
state in the meantime.

Thanks&  73,
