@HamTechRadioScannerDrones hi mate. Can you recommend me some antenna to try? Not sure if you can put links on a reply here, but if you can, ebay, Amazon, Ali Express etc. I'm in Belfast so I'll probably need all the help I can get signal wise
As far as I am aware, the missing frequencies on this device (380-400Mhz) are not due to a software block, but are the result of a hardware/design limitation and as such cannot be hacked without extensive modifications to the RF front-end
It’s a very complex receiver and the manual is full of technical jargon so I’m fumbling along with you trying to understand. But the excellence of the device is well worth the effort. Great review. I’d like to exchange the top tuning knob with the better substitute one, but am afraid of pulling the old off. What do you think?
Very simple, just pull straight up..The only thing I ran into was the fact that the replacement looks like it is missing the friction fit, it's there, just not visible like the knobs it arrives with..
I put my stand the other way up, so it folds out from the bottom, that way you can stand it at an angle if you're sat at a desk for example. Either works, but it means I can have it angled rather than straight up.
I got my one a week ago from banggood. I am Learning fast on how to use it .i wanted to change the volume and frequency knobs, how do you do it? I tried pulling but they dont budge they are hard set and i dont want to risk breaking something so gave up. Can you tell what battery is installed from the menu? If so where? Thanks. Good videos keep it up.
Every time I see a toy I want, you beat me to it! But the benefit is, I know how to use it by the time it arrives because of your vids. Question: Have you poked around inside yet? How easy is it to replace the battery?
Bluetooth is an option included in the software for other models and requires an optional board to be installed.. I just use an inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter connected to the headphone jack, works well..
I'm not getting much at all with the supplied antenna except commercial FM band 88-108 Mhz and the odd receive on Air band. Can you tell me where you got that rubber duck type aerial from ? The one that came with my radio is the telescopic type.
Have you figured out how to turn off the friking "Beep" sounds and even better the annoying CW when you turn off the radio? ahh, drives me nuts when I am on a quiet room.
I think they are nice but the cost is over priced for a reciever that is mainly sdr now. and aliexpress and non us shipping your lucky if you get it at all
I have one here in the states and some bands are excellent or at least good. But our VHF weather channels don't come in as well on this radio as on several other radios I have that get our NOAA weather band. Of my Uniden SDS200 desktop scanner, my Uniden BC125AT (handheld scanner) and my Yaesu VX-6R amateur ham transceiver, they all get our local NOAA weather station on VHF 162.550mHz better than this Malahit. Mine is exactly like in the video with update 2.40 also.
Just ordered mine and your videos will be what I'll be using to get to know how to use it, being a complete amateur to all this kind of stuff. Thanks.
Enjoy its fun the original manual is good .

Many thanks for showing well explained nice bit of kit.
Fantastic!! My current favorite of several radios..
Yes so good 👍
"Im too scared to press anything" LOL, thats exactly how I felt yesterday when received mine. Its quite overwhelming
Keep trying the learning is the best fun there is no rush .
When you power the radio off, CW=73 Great videos, 73 and cheers
So good ,73
Excellent hands on. Thank you. Is there a hack to receive the blocked range all these Malahits have?
Blocked range ??

@@_chocky thank you for clarification

Normally they just pull off quite easily I will do it and make a Video .

I will look one day lots to learn
Bluetooth is an option included in the software for other models and requires an optional board to be installed.. I just use an inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter connected to the headphone jack, works well..
I see I have one of those transmitters I will try it on the 3.5 jack
" i need todo more videos on this one" Lol! - yes, but it is actually an interesting apparatus with many bands and frequencies - 73
Agree totally
Nice radio
It sure is

U need a very long wire
Really good review, but take a few minutes to review the manual. Or pause the camera to check it. Example: EMI.
EMI ?
what is the charging time with a 35W phone charger?
3 hours
Have you figured out how to turn off the friking "Beep" sounds and even better the annoying CW when you turn off the radio? ahh, drives me nuts when I am on a quiet room.
Sorry no
I think they are nice but the cost is over priced for a reciever that is mainly sdr now.

Shame they are hard to get in the USA , they are easy worth the money .

Hi i will.compare ,there are many settings you can change to help also try the other antenna connector .
73's

I like your effort but you don't have the slightest idea what you're doing. Bu t thanks for the effort and bye bye.
I have made 50 videos of me learning that's whe whole point of my Diary channel I learn in front of people .
