The "fix" should be pretty easy yet probably expensive.
It sounds like the master oscillator is flaky.  You can
either replace the factory installed unit or you can buy
a temperature compensated, ultra stable, oscillator.
You might have a shop look at it just to make sure that
it is the master oscillator that is unstable.
