Malahit DSP 2 SDR Overview - I Wasn't Sure I Would EVER See This! -

I believed I may never see this, and that is okay, given the current world situation! I am proud to have received my Malahit DSP2 and I am very content with this SDR. In this episode, I give a very brief overview of the SDR and the basic features of it.
18650 Batteries are needed (2) for this SDR. I purchased these, though I doubt they are 5800mAh (We'll test that soon). - amzn.to/35WFAn2

Product Parameters:
The radio is built on the principle of SDR-the function is determined by loaded software;
Frequency Range: from 50 KHz to 2.0GHz (Registered version)
All types of analog modulation: AM, LSB, NFM, WFM; (CW, MIN SNR)
Powerful functions: variable filter width, adaptive noise suppressor, threshold noise suppressor, for Noise Blanker, AGC, equalizer;
Fully functional chip msi001;
The powerful stm32H 743VIT6 with a clock frequency of 480 MHz is applied;
3.5-inch display touch screen;
Controls: 2pcs; encoders with buttons and touch screen;
It is powered by an external TYPE-C interface or battery (Built-in battery 3.7V 3800mAh ), which can be charged by TYPE-C.
Consumption: 300mA when listening to headphones;
The reception on built-in telescope or external antenna is to improve the HF reception on telescope antenna, and an additional board with source follower has been developed. The board will be built into standard receiver design.
Connect to computer via USB, which can transfer CAT, IQ and audio.
160 kHz span, with scalability;
Sensitivity: Under the condition of up to 250MHz, s/w is 0.3μV = 10dB; 15. Due to the characteristics of msi001 chip used, dynamic blocking range is about 85dB.
With backlight control;
SMA female antenna socket

Thats really cool, it does alot but it's not cheap. Great run through of this little unit. Glad you finally received it. I don't know CW yet. :)

[@tonypoloney8721]

Very interesting presentation. Many thanks.

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

I hope to do more. When the weather starts getting cooler, I'll be inside more

[@Screamingtut]

Great video Sean

[@Screamingtut]

You are getting better in front of the camera. You are showing it very well. no more KZbin jitters.

[@aldewitt9]

Nice overview.

[@MALAHITEAM]

Enjoy to using!

[@LanceVK6LK_AussieHam]

Would love to see it connected to a computer as a SDR. Looks like a nice piece of kit. Cheers

[@s9plus20]

It looks like an excellent radio at a very reasonable price. The only issue is, actually getting one! The CW decode looks like it's pretty accurate. I would like to have one and feed it via my transceivers IF out, making it a portable band scope. Once you get used to a band scope its not the same without one! One morning last week I woke up at 3am and could not go back to sleep so I went to the shack and turned on my ic7610. There was a decent signal on 20 meters and I jumped on it. I was in a qso with South Africa within 10 seconds of turning on my radio! If it hadn't have been for the band scope I would not have been the first guy answering his call! de K4TEN

[@glasno]

Just signed up for one on the website, hope it happens!

[@ChuckieSS]

Would certainly be interested in a deep-dive of all the features and settings. I can't find a lot of good info on all the settings. It's an amazing radio, and I'm able to receive so much more than on my portables.

[@nascar0509]

I have two of this version not the DDC version but once set up with a 20m wire and balun it is a world better and no need to use the preamplifier, certainly great noise reduction feature.

[@ocsrc]

Was the Amazon one rotary controls, was that the actual knobs like standard knobs, or is it the rocker style recessed controls for frequency and volume ? Do you know what the version number is ? What version do you have now ?

[@guyhornbeck8940]

Thanks for the video. Well done as an overview. I look forward to maybe a follow-up linked to your computer. 73 de AE6FE

[@SheepdogPreparedness]

I love mine. I got lucky to get a knockoff that is flawless in performance.

[@Boss_302]

tab the speaker/headphone icon to switch between them , and go outside with the small antenna , you will be amazed from the reception ....

[@mikejk27]

Nice receiver…..how many batteries does it use ?

[@hooked911]

How do you enable the band markers that are showing on your radio? The 40 and 41 meter markers?

[@joeh23]

I believe they are automatic

[@andrzejpl9897]

👍👍👍

[@Knife_Collector]

I can't find this model, what is the difference between this one and the one with knobs on the side.

[@leilanirocks]

Cool. Who doesn’t love another radio? 📻 I am awaiting my knockoff copy as I type this. Do you know which firmware version you have loaded? Think the one I have coming says it will be 1.10D? We’ll see what we get...🤞

[@CR-tm5vi]

What was keeping me from getting this radio was the display-generated internal noise at various frequencies. Is that still an issue or has it been addressed?

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

I will check and try to report back.

[@wisconsinunit6005]

Noise is real noticeable below 5 MHz when using whip antenna. Press the Volume Encoder in until a tone is heard. The whip-display noise goes away. Now when you do that, the touch screen is disabled but you still see the spectrum/ waterfall screen. Your encoders work fine in touch screen disable mode. Now if you need to select a menu, or direct tune by entering a freq., then you need to reactivate the touch screen. Push volume encoder again until tone is heard and touch is restored, but so is the noise. Kind of convoluted process but it works fine. Malahiteam has redesigned the DSP2 to become DSP3 where the touch screen interface will now be configured in parallel and that supposedly fixed the display noise issue. I will have a DSP3 by FEB and will see for myself. The DSP2 is no longer in production.

[@nascar0509]

All being well I believe that in a future update that the ability to decode RTTY is coming!?

[@pvkprasad3256]

Not releated to this video but asking when two channels programmed in repeator what will be difference between two channels to be maintained so that their will be no jamming between them

[@Hoppa12345]

I would like to give you a slight correction on the telescopic antenna. It wont replace the big HF rig outside. but with proper tuning you can recieve much !!!. Even a few weeks ago i was be able to hear full QSO with Australia in Europe on the telescope.. the other Om was in Latvia. I could hear them both... So please give this a correction...

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Very nice, and noted. Thanks

[@Hoppa12345]

@@HAMRADIODUDE I've made a video of this qso... If you like can share with you

[@tommartin2335]

I have one of these and it beats any portable I have including Sanean 909x clearmod, tecsun S2000 which is the same as an Eaton 750 Sat..

[@ghlscitel6714]

Why is there a frequency gap between 200 and 400 MHz?

[@joeh23]

From another website: It is a hardware limitation of the PLL in the MSi001 chip. The gap is actually a little smaller, only 263MHz-390MHz

[@andreasg7834]

I have seen other "Malahit DSP2 SDR" - receivers, which look different than this one. Why is it so?

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Could be some are fake or clones. I bough this one directly from them. Took a while to get, but glad I did. Hopefully that is helpful.

[@andreasg7834]

@@HAMRADIODUDE It's okay. I asked because of receivers like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2O0nIKGaa6mfMk

[@andreasg7834]

@@HAMRADIODUDE What could happen, if it's a fake or a clone? That it receives absolutely nothing or something like that?

[@Harvestersz]

@@andreasg7834 There are a couple of main problems with the clones. One is that most (all?) come with a 'test' version of the operating software that is not fully functional. The official ones come pre-registered, fully functioning, and can be updated to newer software as it is released. The clones can not be updated. The second problem is the quality of the components as well as the physical build quality. Many of the clones will drift because of the crap components used to build them. The knobs on these clones have also been known to be flaky in operation.

[@DanSlotea]

What's the reason for the 250-400 MHz gap?

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Although I'm not positive, I think it had something to do with the country of origin and their laws. I'll see if I can get an accurate answer

[@DanSlotea]

@@HAMRADIODUDE thanks!

[@DanSlotea]

@@HAMRADIODUDE if you ask, it would be interesting to find out if is firmware or hardware restriction.

Rolling onto almost £300 and uncertainty if it would get delivered, chinese more affordable

[@isellfoodstampz]

would it pick up 800mhz police???

[@judd_s5643]

Of course…. I think the Dude said it would receive 10khz - 250mHz at the very beginning.
