You don't need to do that mod on the VR-9000. As for drift..I never heard of it until now from you. I work on tons of them and they are all stable after the typical few minutes warm up. You will be happy with it.

I run the VR 9000 on base and the shack gets to 5 degrees F. at times. after normal warm-up about 15 min. at that temperature there is no drift and all other operations are great. No Drift on SSB.

what about when the radio is first powered up, should there be a warm up time before transmiting?

You can transmit right away , however most radios unless you have a crystal oven , will drift a certain way until they stabilize. You can always call Hamtronics and put in a crystal oven...It is a jacket that is warmed by a precision resistor that will keep the crystal at a constant temperature.
