[TenTec] Orion/O2 Drift Problem-who is interested in a fix?

[Gary Hoffman]

Well...I do PSK31 using a Corsair II.  My approach is to turn it on an hour
or so early.

Never have a drift problem.

Its an interesting technical problem.  One with possible solutions.  But I'd
rather have an Ethernet Interface in a modern radio than worry about a 20 Hz
drift that settles right down.
