Hello I have the RCI-2980 and when it gets warm it will drift on SSB, I have looked at the RCI web page and thay tell you how to fix it like this,,

November Tech Tip on the Month: RCI-2980: In some units, you may notice that the frequency will drift when the unit gets warm. This is caused by the "KIA6410S" IC's installed in place of "TA7310P" for IC8 and IC10. To correct this drifting problem, perform the following modifications: a.) Replace C165 with a 270pF ceramic disk capacitor. b.) Replace C190 with a 47pF ceramic disk capacitor. c.) Add a 100pF ceramic disk capacitor between pin 1 of IC9 and GND.

Now Question has anyone tryed this and did it work dont want to start to change thing and have it still do the same thing any help I would be very thank full..

doc, i just saw this tonight. i see that you posted this originally on the 13th. since there has been no other posts to this, then i guess they are all like me, and have not seen this problem either.

i will say this, if rci put this out as a fix, then it must work. i don't see them putting out b.s. solutions to problems.
