Since the RCI 6900 is a 10 meter ham radio, and not desogned for the 11 meter band, when you had it modified, you also expanded the PLL chip past it's normal use. 10 Meter radios are not designed for CB use ( and of course this is also illegal ) so the PLL does drift. There is no real fix on this problem. Sorry

There is a fix the last statement was ENTIRELY untrue.
Take the radio to a shop or tech you cant trust, and have it re-allinged and all will be fine. Possible a bad/weak voltage regulator; i had similar problems with an old Sommerkamp.
Just dont trans on the 10 meter band w/o a licence and you'll be ok.... its not like youre smuggling in illegal ailens!
