I believe the N1KO data was that he observed a drift of 80 Hz, not 800 Hz.
A drift that large would indicate something seriously wrong in one of the
oscillators. The current K2 design is not as good as a TCXO, but it is a
lot better than an unstabilized crystal oscillator. It should be possible
to reduce the drift to significantly less than 100 Hz over a temperature
range of 10-50C with adjustment of resistor RA in the temperature
compensation circuit.
