Rockin,
Most SSB radios, even solid state ones, still need a few minutes' warm-up time. As some of the parts heat up under normal circumstances, they can change the values of the parts in the synthesizer and heterodyne oscillators (depending upon how your radio makes SSB from what would otherwise be an AM signal.)
I generally figure on about 20 minutes for any of my SSB gear to warm up enough to minimize drift, from my Hammarlund boatanchor receivers to my Griefkits and Emperor Shogun mobile. On cold days it can be longer, although it's nothing here in Mayberry RFD like it was in Bareflanks, Alaska.
The only way I know to avoid it is to put the crystal in an oven and run a small incandescent lamp near the synthesizer that's always on.

Thank you, sir, that's good to know. The funny thing about my Galazy is that it is on-freq when cold, and it drifts off-freq. as it warms up. I usually run AM. I have to turn the clarifier almost all the way CCW to keep it on frequency.
