i've watched several other videos of this receiver and none of them explains the functions as extensive as this one. Fantastic job!
Just came across this, I ordered a DSP2 clone in a very nice aluminium case, the speaker is on the front covered by a grill and the knobs and antenna connections are on the top, the power button, phones, and USB connection as well as the hard off switch are on the left side, the same model you cover on a much later video. The reason I purchased this model is, it is the first unit that doesnt look like it was constructed in someone's garage. The machining looks brilliant and it legitimately looks like a product you might buy at a retail store, and it comes with the firmware fully unlocked. It was not cheap, $350, but the primary reason I purchased outside of the machining was, I have been considering purchasing an RSP1a or something similar. This looks to give me the benefit of having a PC based SDR and a portable, self inclusive unit. Im hoping this outperforms my Eton E1XM, Sony 2001/2010d, Grundig Satelit 700, Sony ICF-SW77, Sony ICF-SW55, Panasonic RF-B65, Sangaean ATS 909X2, Tecson h501x, & Eton Elite Executive units. I have a GA508 antenna I currently use, again, based on the review you did of the GA450 & GA800, and my thinking was, the 508 is a bigger antenna but the same form factor (loop, cable attached from antenna to battery powered amplifier, amplifier connects to radio) with the only difference being that the amplifier does not have a place to directly attach the loop to as the GA450 & GA800 does. The loop is 20 inches in diameter, as compared to the GA800, which is 10 inches in diameter (and the 450 is even smaller than that). Only had the antenna a few days but, its been pretty decent thus far.
Thanks. I have the same version bought from Banggood and came preloaeded with the version 1.10a firmware and full coverage to 2 Ghz ( apart from the gap that they all have). I'm impressed with mine as it is well made and once you get used to the menu system works real well. I've heard some horror stories about the Chinese clone versions but the you review and mine appear to be the better versions.
How did you buy it pre-loaded? I couldn’t find a full range option in the store.
@@treesway2241 They may be out of stock but I got mine a couple of months ago. Look for the full 2Ghz coverage version.
@@lawrencestringer1262 The only options I see are either 50KHz-200MHz or 400MHz-2GHz, although the latter option is more expensive so I'm not sure if that's the only one that can be upgraded. It also states in the description that both options come with 10a already installed but I'm not sure if that matters.
This is the version I bought. Coverage has a gap from 200Mhz to 400Mhz. This is the same for all Malahits
@@lawrencestringer1262 You bought the 400 to 2ghz one?
Another great video bud very interesting
Nice presentation my dude !! Could you make a video with the upgrade process from demo fw to the full one ? I found contradicting instructions on the web...
Just use ST32 Cube Programmer. Its much easier and you can use the HEX file without converting it to a .DFU file.
Very good and informative as usual 👍
Awesome job on the functions of this unit.. thanks for sharing
Another great video. Thanks for doing this. I plan to order one in the next few days. Can't wait to play with it!
consider buying from the original deverlopers
@@gerrykavanagh Website for original developers please
@@dabaco11 email malahit_sdr@rambler.ru
How do find it? Is it working as you thought it would? Are you happy with the Banggood purchase? Thanks
Hello.. Thanks for the video , I have 1.10a version of Malachite... very nice radio! have a nice day.
Very helpful tutorial, thank you. I got the very same model, it also came with v1.0f. I didn't receive any code or link to download the newest update, just the pre-installed software. How did you update to v1.10?
I just recently bought this exact same version, I mean identical down to the knobs, same speaker grille and everything.
One major disappointment is that the antenna Hi-Z does nothing, the input is always 50 ohm regardless of the setting. I later read that it needs an optional board for that.
The other issue I have with it is that it suffers from image reception. For instance at around 3.5 to 4MHz I receive stations that are actually transmitting somewhere near 11 to 12 MHz. When using it with my magnetic loop antenna it's no problem because the unwanted frequencies are filtered out by the antenna but with a Miniwhip or long wire antenna it can be a problem because stations on the lower frequencies often get drowned out by stations at three times the frequency.
That said I have no regrets buying it and was well worth it, even considering these limitations.
Reminds me of Pine64 Pinetab with interal SDR :) That one is even more compact (although Pinetab is thinner). Thanks for the video! :)
If only they start producing them again...😭
@@Kw1161 I believe they will be up after listening to latest Pinetalk podcast. There have been chip sourcing shortages. :-/
Priority is on producing for the main line: pinephone/Pinebooks. Keep an eye on it and hopefully we will see more Pinetabs up soon. :) really great option for sdr. Malachite also looks nice. :)
Cool! Very thorough explanation. I have heard some bad reviews of banggood customer service but my try them with this one.
Thanks for this, very useful information.
The sellers on bangood or aliexpress say in the description about contacting the author for firmware update code. Not sure what that means exactly.
The firmware is 1.10c support 50kzh-200Mhz and 250Mhz-2000Mhz
“if you user need udpate the firmware,please contact the author to buy new register code “
Don’t you get the firmware from an Russian? Maybe not such a good idea at the moment
🤔🤔
@@bikepackingadventure7913 You buy software for a sdr radio based on what country the developer is from? You know this random russian dev had nothing to do with a war. He writes bad code, cant debounce his own hardware, but has time to write code to soft brick clones that dont send 70 bucks for his trash software.
I have an RSPdx and RSP1 but this is still a nice portable unit that I might consider getting as it's self contained,
but I also have an online KiwiSDR that I can access with my smart phone from just about anywhere and that does
mostly what this can do for no additional cost just data on the phone. The KiwiSDR covers only HF, about 10Khz - 32MHz.
Maybe test one out people, before you grab one of the Malachite units and save yourself $120+ !!
Where is it stated that the extra $ goes back to the original devs and isn't pocketed by the knock off merchants? It's fairly easy to work out the registration code. I won't share a link to that however ... I believe people should get paid for their skills.
Agreed. I bought direct from RX9CIM.
Indeed !
Nice video and review thank you,
Very Cool!
Cool video !
you didn't mention the encoders or touch screen being a bit dodgy? Maybe yours are good but mine and many others I've seen online are not
Well, my first one the touch screen was hit m miss, the one in this video seems to work very well. Although the encoders do seem flaky. I didn’t mention in this video because I am doing some research, trying to ascertain if the issue is with the actual encoder skipping, or if it’s the software not registering the encoder clicks. I really want to find a solution for smooth, 100% reliable encoders, and once I do I will make a dedicated video on them and how to fix/replace these, if needed. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@TechMindsOfficial The encoder on the Belka sdr works really well so I was planning on trying one of those on my malachite. You are right and it could be the software too or even the electronics rather than the encoder. Mine came in a very nice slimline case so there is really not much room for any other type of encoders, Its got those edge mounted ones. Ideally a bigger case , lots of pcb shielding, shielding the lcd from the antenna and rf parts of the pcb and a decent encoder and one would end up with a very nice RX when you consider the price, size and features
The encoders are perfectly fine. The 1.10A and lower firmware has a horrible encoder software routine that cause inconsistent results. It makes the wheel seem non responsive. It would not read or overshoot the value twice. The code was fixed on the 1.10B revision. It was all due to bad software code in the firmware. Emil discovered the problem and wrote a new code for the vendor to use to fix their problem.
Thanks for a very good video, can I just query, is there two different sets, onevtgat goes from 50khz to 200mhz and another that goes from 200mhz to 2ghz, I really want the amateur bands but don't know if the new sets with the latest firmware does the whole lot 50khz to 2ghz, thanks
The two versions are:
(1) 50 kHz - 200 MHz
(2) 50 kHz - 200 MHz plus 400 MHz - 2 GHz
Thank for a great video. Seems to be a long waiting list for the original from Russia. I'm in two minds wether to buy a clone. I've read many bad reports and problems with them. But looks like you've bought a decent one.
waiting list is ~1 month. I ordered in December... it's on its way right now.
Shipping from Russia is a good bit faster too, so it probably wprks out the same
@@gerrykavanagh I contacted 3rd December not heard anything.
@@The13pilgrim I am assuming you used teh 'malahit_sdr' email address.
I note that if I send emails to that address with any signature or embedded rich-text, it seems to not arrive. I can only assume an over-zealous spam filter, When I keep the message unembellished, Georgiy responds within a day or two.
@@gerrykavanagh yes that's tge address I sent to. But also had to send another with my other email address as it seems AOL don't get to Russia.
You don't have Hi-Z antenna input without additional filter board, which contains required circuitry.
Maybe that’s why there is an option to change between 50 Ohm and Hi-Z, it changes which circuitry is used? Maybe check the circuit diagram of the board to be sure.
@@TechMindsOfficial Yes, this switches circuits thru the relay. Hi-Z transformer, amplifier and relay are located on additional filter board. Without this board installed you have 50Ohm antenna input, no matter what you select in the settings.
Hello, Nice video. How did you configure the connection between HDSDR and Malachite radio? Which software did you use to transmit from windows to Malachite? Have you used a HackRf or something like that? Thanks for sharing!
Great run through of all the features. Mine came unlocked with 1.0c firmware. Guess I'll be supporting the developers to get the 1.10 firmware?
If yours is already unlocked then you can upgrade to 1.10 free of charge, just update the firmware and it will still be unlocked.
@@TechMindsOfficial Is this actually confirmed or is that an assumption? I'm really keen to order, but wondering if offical firmware updates will put these chinese versions back to locked or be incompatible. Did you get any kind of registration code? Great video, this looks a lovely piece of kit :)
@@maq1017 I done it with mine, went from 1.0c to 1.09f and then to 1.10 and it arrived with activated firmware. If you have the demo firmware installed, and you upgrade, then you will NOT be able to use it without a code. But if it’s already activated, then you can upgrade as much as you like. No assumption, fact :-) thanks for watching 🙏
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks, upgraded to 1.10a with no problems, and no activation needed.
@@TechMindsOfficial excellent. Thank you for the time for confirming. Facts are good :)
Great review as usual :-) I Would buy one But: As usual with some of these devices the firmware which is the main part gets silly with upgrade purchase keys and different firmware versions that maybe available or not, this makes the whole thing even more of a gamble spending your cash in the first place. Looks Great if you get one for free or you have some spare disposable cash :-)
Mine has the free software , and the thicker one with the 2 speakers (one is parasitic) and big Knobs, says Shenlan EK, it says on the case revA.0 but iside it says A3 ? .Two meters is useless as inteferance from the internal circuit, but its great on HF exept for powerfull stations swamping the band , half of the memory slots do not work. The freq steps are a REAL pain on the touch screen to touch correctly and selecting a station from the touch screen is bad as you end up with tiny frequency steps to correct as frequency step changes., once on a station it is pleasing.The sound is really full and detailed on FM and great on hf. I On mine the Pre amp setting is wrong ie off is ON, and on is OFF, leave it activated ie OFF on the rod antenna and dont activate it on a 20m wire or similiar. Setup I find 75db on AGC as recomended by the Russian designer "George". RF gain 20 to 25 on rod with activated preamp, 10-15 setting on 20m wire with preamp not activated (with 9:1 balun).The screen was not flush with the case a gap of about 3mil at one edge, I opened the front and found the edge of the circuit board snapped of at 2 corners,thats why it would not hold down. If you open the case it will be a pain as the other side of the visible case screws is a nut which will drop off inside! It is an incomplete radio, but it receives way better than my techsun 660 and sounds better and picks up more than my Icom pro due in part to having no mains borne inteferance which renders my HF radios useless at times thats what was apparent straight away on battery power. Some time it does not want to come out of hard setting and a restart is required. No speaker grill is not a good idea, its been thrown together, I paid £106 from Banggood, not Chinas best offering, shame.
Suggest using a stylus in place of fingers. Takes the challenge out of inputting if you have big fingers, and also easy to select items that are near edge of the screen bezel.
this SDR looks awesome, love how it's all self contained. I build boards and use project cases to do this to my current SDR receivers. But, I don't install the display. Does the receiver support 1090 adb signal? Would like to be able to interface to android phone and track aircraft. thanx for the info
That’s a good question, I’ll try it
I Just bought one, same as yours from Banggood, thanks to your BRILLIANT video! Can you tell me, does the SW Antenna / High Z antenna selection work on this version? I have heard many chinese built versions don't support this feature?
Hi
Thank your for a very good video. I plan to buy one these but there are so many to choose from. The one you recommend is this the original that can be upgraded etc.?
1. Do it cost any to activate the license? Incase how much.
2. How about software and firmware updating of the software can that be done after license activation on this unit?
Hello. Impressive video. I have 2 questions. Does anyone know about the new optional circuit board that provides attenuators, filtering and antenna gain for HF? 2nd question, if I have a version 2 with the registered software, I understand that subsequent versions are free. What is the software upgrade process? Can a video be made to clearly show how to do the upgrade? It does not seem to be too difficult.
I have spokem with Georgiy about the additional board... this is the overall info:
An optional board has been developed for the receiver, which contains an active antenna (for a telescopic antenna), additional RF filters and an attenuator.
The board is designed to improve HF reception. The fee is purchased separately.
It will be available in March
Maybe I missed something..??
On Bangood 2 options Un-Registered and the more expensive "Registered"
Is the "Registered" version the same as "Fully Activated"..?? or is it another $50 on top of the Registred price..??
Is there a link to the Firmware and Update procedure
Thanks
You would be doing us all a great favor if you were to do another video that specifically goes over the correct installation of the windows device drivers and any other DLL files necessary for HDSDR to work with the Malahit-DSP SDR radio. I just got mine like yours from Banggood with version 1.0f firmware and can not get it to work with HDSDR. Two of the four Windows 7 device drivers were installed and I installed the Icom 7600 DLL files into HDSDR's folder. But it doesn't connect.
Thanks for the video. I may have missed it . What antenna set up are you using ?
Wish it had American AM or FM digital broadcast or AM stereo. Not to mention a rubber bumper and a set of less hideous knobs.
Is there a link somewhere to the right firmware ?
Jesus, that poor little SMA getting loaded down by a PL259, lol. That right there would have me shopping for bulk SMA replacement connectors on eBay, haha. Pro tip btw... If you're going to attach an external antenna like this, then consider using an adapter CABLE rather than heavy, abusive solutions like this. Adapt your heavy PL259 connector down to an F connector, then use a short F to SMA adapter cable. Takes a lot of the strain off that internal board mounted SMA.
I *really* want one of these, though. If I have an OCD shopping habit at all then it's for sure radio tech. I have a couple of SDRPlay units and I love them but to have an actual, pocket sized, portable little SDR with a full on rolling spectrum waterfall and speaker and internal battery and all, just phewwwww... it's as close to the American Dream as I'm ever apt to see.
Anyone know if these units are HF deaf at all relative to say other good SDR units or its own receive sensitivity? I spend more of my radio listening life there than anywhere else so if I did start trying to budget one of these, deafness on HF could be a deal breaker for me.
Great video, thanks for posting. BTW, do you know if there are cases available for the bear bone model ? I can't find any, just thought you might know. Thanks
I think one of my mates 3D Printed a case for his, might be worth checking online for the files if you have a 3D printer.
There is a lot of these that are rubbish. Can you do a video with the whip antenna only. How well do they work without an external antenna.
Really good so do they make a HF / VHF / UHF transmitter to compliment it ?
It's a real pity it doesn't have Yuasu CAT control and then it would be prefect for connecting to a FT817/818, Ft857/897 and FT891... The size makes it perfect for working portable with those radios.
Why is 200 - 400 Mhz omitted?
Mci001 spec
Limited by hardware!
Can you do a video on HOW to upgrade, or point to one. AIso does the upgrade remove 250-400mhz?
maybe if u don't thinks its worth a video, can u explain it in sentence or two?
@@fpvkabo there will be always a gap from approx. 260 - 390 MHz. It is limited by the hardware - IC used in their project.
10:22 Interesting, hoping I can get this going when my v1.10c arrives, thanks for all the information. Does the Kenwood cat software work with Hdsdr ann the Malachite without having a Kenwood radio? TIA.
Yeah, not sure how he got it to work. I'm just having trouble finding the correct dll
I just perchased it but where do you get the updated firmware as the listing on your link to banggood states this
"We only sell the hardware, this product does not include follow-up software upgrade service (cannot upgrade to 1.10b)"
What does demo firmware mean? This mean doesn't work? So when it comes can't you hear the radio frequencies? I do not understand!
How many memory channels are there? - can you alpha-tag them?
I imagine the open source hardware would be compatible with any future firmware upgrades from the developer - if it's a success & there is demand the developer could look into adding other features like scanning, more memory channels & continuous coverage 🙂 (that's the biggest gripe with this - the 'gap' covers the whole of millitary Airband! ☹️
Perhaps give this one a try with the YouLoop?
Did you buy it upgraded? Or did you have to upgrade it?how difficult is it? Thanks
Thanks for the upload I have a USB SDR Dungel on my laptop (running Linux mint) 29.000 is low as it goes but does not pick up the lower bands ,so I wanted something in the lower bands the only thing I don't like about the small HF is the loop antenna is so heavy on such a small unit I don't think a telescoping antenna will pick up a lot of the channels KD6TXB
I agree these small sma connectors are a problem. My solution is to use a pig tail to connect the small sma socket on the sdr to your antenna, this takes the weight off the radio.
Is there an alternative opensource firmware and are receivers from Bangood coming fully activated?
Good evening.
Nice radio, just don't like the tuning encoder on the side, looks like a pain to use, can't beat having the tuning encoder on the front of the radio like on the Sangean ATS-909 X2, it's a pleasure to use.
R reet marra great vid do you have a link for the genuine firmware update please
Why the link you provided shows the followin"400MHz-2GHz Malachite SDR Radio DSP SDR Receiver 3.5" Touch Screen AM/SSB/NFM/WFM Analog Modulated - 400MHz-2GHz" so no HF and VHF? Kindly confirm.
Can’t find one with case, battery and speaker that is fully upgraded.
Software V1.0f is not for sale from Chinese retailers; needs to be purchased from Russia where this radio had been designed.
i have just bought one and the software is 1.10 but i can't get the 50 ohm antenna function working
Please, how do you change the clock?
Heya! New sub ☘️
Welcome! :-)
👍👏👏
As a result of this video, I ordered this radio. When it arrived all that was in the box was the radio and antenna. No manual and no web page to upgrade the software. What a surprise that was. Can you direct me to the software upgrade. Thank you for your time and help.
They are on eBay with the full developer software already installed (1.10b) for £149.99 UK supplier
How to activte it?
.. a bit of a concern if they can't even spell their own name right on the product!
A very cursory search says the Malahit is a Chinese clone. The original - Малахит (Malachite) is Russian. Nikita S provides more info elsewhere in the comments.
I have a similar radio and can't make heads nor tails of it and can't get the software.
Dear Mr. Mathew Miller, i have seen your Video on TH-cam. It´s a very nice Idea to show the Worls how it Works. I would like to buy this Software to run my RTL2832 inclusive new R820T2Tuner & SDR+UpConverter without any Software. Would You like to help me in this Matter?
have the function "Connect to computer via USB, which can transfer CAT, IQ and audio". ?
Hi, can you please explain this since I wrote to the guys at Banggood and are still finding the technical answer for this? This is what is listed under the Video
Please kindly note before purchase:
1. The software version of this product is 1.10a ；
2. We only sell the hardware, this product does not include follow-up software upgrade service (cannot upgrade to 1.10b).
Does this mean that if I own this unit I will not be able to upgrade the firmware?
That's interesting.. I do not know the actual answer, but sounds like to upgrade further than 1.10a you would need to get an original firmware key from the Malachite designers themselves, for future upgrades. Normally a one off fee of $50. If that is the case, then I would suggest to purchase the cheaper, unlicensed version from Bangood, then purchase an original firmware license key from the designers, that would ensure future upgrades for free and working.
@@TechMindsOfficial Thanks for your prompt reply, I really appreciate it. I am concerned about the software thing and to be honest since you indicated this same device in your video I assumed that it is a perfect choice. However, when I saw the unit on their website just under your video I read that 2nd line which confused me a lot. the thing is that when I wrote to Banggood, they told me that they will be looking for technical help to answer my question, till today I never heard any reply. 10x
Where do you buy a license for the registered firmware? That was not covered in the video. I recently bought one which comes with demo firmware and would like information on where I need to go in order to unlock all features.
I believe the startup splash screen should provide you with an email address and your code?
WOW!! I feel so stupid! I just managed to switch off the audio and can't get it back on again. I do hear a very soft hiss when I put my ear to the speaker but I can't get the volume to a higher level anymore. Can someone help me please to get it working again? Btw. is there a manual of this radio perhaps? Thank you very much for your help!
Hi! I received today but is Locked what can i do for upgrade?
Looking to order one - can someone point me to the user manual for this particular unit . Appriceations in advance.
Is this thing capable of stereo on the FM? Thanks for vid!
Yep sure is.
@@TechMindsOfficial thanks!
Does anyone know what the small LED that blinks ion the top left side of the headphone icon??? It turns either red or green when you turn the volume or the frequency dial. Thank you!
When you change a setting as you use the set, it blinks red and when it's saved the setting, it turns green. Nothing to worry about!
does it have memory presets & can I change to usb or lsb mode on any frequency I want ?
Yes and Yes. There 50 memories, although only numeric setting (such as frequency), no alpha characters. USB or LSB for any band, FM wide or narrow band, and AM.
What's the difference between the links you put in the comments? Is the most expensive the fully activated firmware?
Any that say frequency support up to 2ghz should be already activated, and will cost more. But I put all the links just in case some of the variants go out of stock.
Hello is it possible to save frequency memories ?
If you pay for the firmware upgrade are you entitled to free firmware upgrades as they become available?
Yep, sure are.
Will this do p25 Phase 2 TDMA Police? 700 to 900Mhz
Be better off with something like SDRTrunk with the JMBE library for that. Running 4 SDR sticks and using Trunking Recorder to record files and stream them on the go.
thank you for this video and I have a request
can you make a video how to make pdw 3.1 work properly ?
I use a laptop with usb soundcard as receiver and my workstation via line in as decoder ... I am especaly interested in Pocsag
greetings
Hey, do you mean PDW with the Malachite SDR?
@@TechMindsOfficial no, with rtl-sdr or sdrplay1A via laptop to workstation .... PDW installed on workstation

Is it hard to upgrade?thanks
What;s the reason for one of these VS a SDR attached to a PC?
@Baldur Vizla a raspberry pi
New to this hobby bud. Just asking if this is something beyond or just to consolidate.
Hello Sir, I have the same Malachite, but the HDSDR software cant see the Malachite. I need to install some .DLL? But on their website I cannot find any DLL's for the Malachit. Can you help a very newbie to connect the malachite to the HDSDR software?
Thank you so much in advance. - Greetings from Belgium. Stay Safe
I'm also having trouble getting hdsdr to connect. I got Omni rig but looks like we need a exIO driver from somewhere. Could you make a video of how you setup hdsdr ? Thanks
Which Malachite do Bangood sell - original russian design (produced in China, of course) or chinese ripoff (working with the same original software)? The meaning of my question is that there are BPF daughter boards developed for the original that drastically improve SN ratio that cannot be married to chinese ripoffs.
Is it possible to record audio files?
The radio does not have a recording function. However with the USB-C output connected to your computer, you can use any recording software on your computer to do the job.
Where could I order this code?
Can you add digital to it? If it cant do digital ill stick to my 20 quid sdr which can.
No it's analogue reception only, you can. Connect it to a PC and use the audio output with decoding software such as DSD
What is this '20 quid' SDR software that has built in digital decoding???????? Are you sure you aren't just using DSD?
@@MrBassman91 i didn't say built in
Ummm...50khz - 200mhz? Trial software? How much did you pay all together?
You can get the same version (activated) from Banggood for USD119 plus a few bucks for shipping.
Yep, links in the description of the video :)
Nahh...I’m good. Still too expensive considering the range of an rtl-sdr plugged into a phone or tablet.
decode only morse code or other signal?
Decodifica solo il segnale morse
I want to know which Chinese version of this radio is the best.
All of them are shit. Even if you are expirienced in receiver world.

@@ellsworthm.toohey7657 🤣 thanks I needed a laugh
Looks good, but paying for firmware upgrades is a dealbeaker :(
It’s a “one off” fee if you don’t buy one that already activated. If it’s already activated then there is no further charges to upgrade firmware.
You haven't to pay extra fee for upgraded firmware if you buy the original version from russian developers. With original russian device all future upgrades would be free of charge.
The developers don't deserve any remuneration for their efforts?
@@TechMindsOfficial Have you had any luck with the latest firmware 1.10b? It sounds like the developers have done something and now pre-upgraded chinese versions are not working?
@@gerrykavanagh 50 usd? Most small PC software cost 25-35 USD. Months to wait. Why? I have a lot of respect to the authors of this project, but ...

You can’t, you have to request for an activation code. Pay the $50 👌
@@TechMindsOfficial how is it updated?
You've got the design and the demo software freely licensed by the developers. What more do you want??? People should get something back for their effort.
Are you a liberal, a socialist ? The people who DESIGN these products DESERVE RETRIBUTION ! Unless YOU BRING something, you DON't deserve ANYTHING ! FED UP of thieves, leeches, parasites aka liberals !
@@ellsworthm.toohey7657 He would post the pirated copy on the net somewhere and that would be the end of the product! Damn demorats!
Prefer my rspdx
I have an RSPdx and RSP1 but this is still a nice portable unit that I might consider getting as it's self contained,
but I also have an online KiwiSDR that I can access with my smart phone from just about anywhere that does
mostly what this can for no additional cost just data on the phone. The KiwiSDR covers only HF, 100Khz - 32MHz.
Maybe test one out people before you grab one of the Malachite units and save yourself $170 !!
