MALAHIT DSP2 Portable ALL MODE SDR Receiver - INSANELY GOOD!

Wow! That noise reduction setting is indeed impressive. Thanks as always for showing us all the cool radios, and other devices.

Mine came into today. I am a very active Ham operator. Current main HF rig FTDX101MP and it has the best receiver for a transceiver in the world. So the bar was set really really high in receiver performance , filtering and noise mitigation etc. This thing blew me away, I don’t know how they did it. It’s that darn good.

I just received mine two days ago, exact same one from Deepelec! Yesterday I made a video about how to upgrade the firmware to the latest 2.40 beta that adds FT8 and RTTY decoding. I was just thinking, it would be great if Tech Minds gets his hands on this model and makes a good video covering it, as there are not many videos on YouTube about it! Well... guess you got one then haha! Amazing SDR receiver, great build quality!

I bought a DSP SDR exactly the same as demonstrated it took ages to arrive I didn't know the country that made it, after making so checks I found out it was made in RUSSIA, and it's beautiful made in a grey metal case, wished I had left the screen protector on, but I removed it as the demonstrator did I must now get another screen protector, the radio arrived very well packed, and now I have to read the instructions that came with it, I am also a Radio Amateur and I have lots of ham radio friends in RUSSIA and also all over the world, I'm so glad I bought the radio the comment was written by Barry G4DIP!

Some things to remember when dealing with China and other clones: You must have the seller state what FW version (such as 1.10d or 2.40...etc) it has and ask if it is legal/upgradeable. DSP-2 receivers for those who are not aware, are the LAST model of the receiver using Russian-originated software. The actual Russian Malahit receivers are now at the DSP-3 model, with some significant improvements, including apparently changes to reduce noise from the screen. But ordering direct from Russia remains a challenge at this point. Chinese clone makers have done a very good job of adapting the Russian software to various designs and this is the latest one. The problem with all of these is that there are so many options available in the software for signal processing, such as PREAMP and other settings, that for listening to today's SW broadcasts, you're almost better off using a Tecsun 330 or 990 or H-501. Some people are confusing the MODEL of the receiver (DSP-2 for example) with the firmware (i.e. 1.10d). You're quite correct that build quality on this appears to be substantially better than other units online. And there are TWO antenna inputs which is a good thing, like the old V3 SDR which is still shown as being available online.

When you pressed that noise reduction button I genuilely exclaimed 'Holy shit!'

Can't wait to get my official one ... thank you for your videos always good watching when I can't sleep

Amazing little radio, does everything that my 3 racks full of older receivers does

Great small SDR radio! It’s looks so well built for sure. Impressive 😊

Thanks for this video. I currently own a licensed Malahit one but usually use it with a magnetic loop as the telescopic whip mainly picks up the display noise. This one looks worth the money. 73, and have a nice day!

Impressive radio. Love the colour waterfall, and clear audio with NR.

It looks like to be the new high-end standard for DSP receivers. Tons of controls and settings. Looks good to me!

Have just received mine . Beautiful build quality , excellent performance and the audio is better than any of my other radios , including my NRD515 , Kenwood R5000 , Icom IC-R70 .

If this came out with a Yaesu or Icom badge, everyone would be beside themselves about how those brands had revived their tradition of great receivers. A quick request - could you put some specs in your videos?Ta.

Thanks for the video. Gonna grab one for my travels when I am abroad for work in hotels and airports etc. The performance on that small telescopic antenna is wild!

That little radio sounds epic.. ideal for air shows!

Wow, excellent NR and the audio is fantastic..!!

Just ordered one... cant wait!

Nice review :-) This radio is evolving into something really good, far surpassing the popular single chip superhets / baseband dsp radios.

Looks and sounds amazing!
