I have aligned this radio several times and it never transmits on the same frequency. It’s been cold, it’s been hot and in between but always drifts off. What temp do you do an alignment at or what components can I replace to make this galaxy more stable on SSB? I set the frequencies and it sounds great the once the temperature changes it’s off.

You do the alignment with the radio "at operating temperature", so leave it on for a few hours and let things warm up and stabilize before you do the alignment.
