I never notice the drift.    But if I check the frequency error very
accurately
when the radio is cold (first powered on), and then check it again after it
has
been on for a few hours, I always notice a few hundred hertz difference with
my rx320.  Apparently, this varies quite a bit from radio to radio.  The
point is
the pegasus and jupiter are much better at this because they have a TCXO.
