Wanted to share some info with everyone in case someone comes across this problem with an older style Connex or Galaxy.

When you turn the radio on "Cold" and key the mic the frequency is off by 10 KHz and once the radio warms up it will go back on normal frequency.

Check X2 Crystal 14.010 could be the culprit as that was the problem with this Connex I had come in.

In the Galaxy radios (basically the same chassis), I found that the loop osc xtal were creating a lot of drift regardless if it was a export radio or a CB. But what can you say? Cheap xtals in a radio that is
