Crystal aging or component aging in the BFO oscillators can cause this. 
Also aging of the TCXO can cause this.

Use an accurate frequency counter to determine if all are on frequency as
required.  You will need to measure to 1 Hz or better accuracy.  There is
a procedure in the manual for alignment.  Follow the steps as listed in
sequence and do not skip any of them.
