I don't think you will notice any drift on AM or FM. On shortwave you
might have some, but no more than with any other simple analog
receiver. When the rechargable batteries are close to drained the
receiver will drift off because the voltage is low - but you would get
that effect with alkalines too.

It's not electrical drift, it's mechanical. There's a bunch of plastic
gears and stuff and it uses plastic dielectric tuning capacitors with
a lot of drag, and tuning it builds up strain that gradually relaxes.
Tuning it is like pulling a wagon with a bungee cord.

But for US$40 it's a lot of fun, (even if I've managed to kill off
the rechargable batteries).
