I use the GA-800 also with my Malahit, is quite useful in 80/40 m, and mw/lw.- The Donut SW find I a good idea for portable dx.- Thanks for your vid.-

@@Zayne_24 it is a transceiver and is capable of receiving HF bands which can include military frequencies as covered in this blog: mt-milcom.blogspot.com . I started listening to military HF back when desert storm kicked off. This is not a scanner and can’t be used for monitoring local emergency response, police, fire etc. which are all on higher VHF/UHF bands.

It's super clean, bro. I like it 😎✨️. It's fully loaded all the way. Navigation and all, awesome 👌. I've never had one without the Navigation. Looks sooo much better. Yeah man, it's not the manual, but it still has the power, and it looks good all around. So here's a little update for you. Something I haven't mentioned on my channel as yet. I went out yesterday and drove for over two hours to go check out an 8th Gen. I liked it and ended up buying it, so this is going to be a new addition for the channel. Ok brother, keep making videos for the channel. You got my support all the way 👍✨️ Have a blessed day 🙏

I got mine at Bangood. Due to high demand and leading in to holiday, it took several weeks. The Malahit DSP2 IMO is a great radio, it has high sensitivity and the Noise Reduction (NR) is incredible. That NR just makes listening anything, a pleasure. For that money I don’t think there is a better radio. Enjoy whatever you decide!
