Do you key the oscillator? Chirp can sometimes be cured by changing
the design so that the oscillator runs continuously when in transmit
mode and only the driver and/or p.a. are keyed.
Also, if you are using frequency multiplication so that 80 meter
crystals can be used on higher frequency bands, you will find
that this can accentuate chirp. Try using only fundamental
crystals for the band of interest.

Required by the overly oppressive legal system that is.
But you still want to get a manual as many of the business radios
won't tune that far out of their 'native' band without mods.
