I bought the malahit dsp2 from banggood, arrived 10 days ago, it supposed to have 5000mAh battery but i noticed it runs out just after few hours, so i opened the back and it has a 800mah battery, i m pursuing a refund of the cost of a new battery but banggood are trying everything to avoid a £25 refund. They are dishonest. Don't buy anything from BANGGOOD they will cheat you.

Chinese are still don't get importanceoof trasceiver style large size and conveniently located tuning handle. Still on every clone it's a cheap pocket radio style small tuning knob and on this model it's actually a worst case - it's on top!.. very disappointing.

Got an SDR dongle on my laptop but wanted something of high quality and totally portable. I'm into data modes now, especially SSTV. This is the beast I've been waiting for 💪👌

I have this receiver. It's a great little device. I have one concern with it. I keep it connected to my PC mostly because I am using it with HDSDR. I notice the battery stays charging constantly. The light is always red. Is there a way to stop the battery from charging when its connected to a computer? I just want it to provide power and data without actually charging the battery. I don't want to fry the battery. I appreciate anyone who has any information about this. Thank you!

There is a soft-touch on-off button AND a small on-off slider switch on the left side. The small slider switch disconnects the battery.

I ended up buying from someone that Tech Minds had linked, even though it was a seller that didn't mention firmware, I think it's a 2.3, which I'd rather have anyway because I think the 2.4 is still in the beta phase right? So I'll wait until they perfect the 2.4 firmware and download it myself from the Russian site.

Never had any trouble from Aliexpress in the past and have ordered several things from them since 2014. Yes, takes a while but they are in Hong Kong, so give them a break. I've had several emails back and forth from one of the ladies there that speaks perfect English and she was helpful and nice. I had ordered a Tecsun PL-330 and the problem I had with the radio was not Aliexpress's fault. But she helped me fix the problem! Been a great little radio since.

So maybe I'll get one of those someday! I've got a Chinese V5..that's all the radio I think I need from them. I like their new DSP 2 but the problem has always been stock!

Thanks I looked in the comments thread I am new to this practice of short wave Which antenna is needed to obtain the best performance and what are the best settings? I currently have the supplied antenna and I also have an Xdata AN 80 wire antenna that rolls up Can we connect 2 antennas at the same time to the connectors You talked about. What is SNR? Thank you for your previous response and in advance for this one. I am in Var area France Sincerely
@sunsoundz8 ай бұрын
First it's very dependent of the frequencies you like to receive what kind of antenna you will need, as well if you have a lot of space to mount longwire antennas for hf for example... For the begin I recommend you a active loop antenna, is compact and you will have great results on hf 10khz - 30Mhz (MLA30+), some even go up until 180 mHz like the K-180WLA. You find these on ebay or AliExpress and they can be used in and outdoors and don't have to be mounted very high to have good results. If you are more interested in VHF/UHF reception I recommend you a Discone antenna, which is very wide in the reception range, this needs to be mounted as high as possible to get good results . You can connect two antennas to this malahit, one high impedance and one 50ohm. You can switch the input in the software. SNR is the difference between noise level and the signal. As better the signal as higher is the SNR. Hope this helped you, Greetings
