ALL OF THEM. don't let anybody con you & say their 95t doesn't drift. some are just worse then others. there is no easy fix for it. an xtal change to a more stable cut CAN help, and there's a few other supposed tricks that can be done to them, but probably not worth the effort for a CB. even one that costs $400 or more.
