Very helpful video. I learned some new hidden features. Mine has the ATT at the top. The signals are stronger when it is set to zero. Thanks for the great video.
This is a very useful video, especially since it is not so obvious that you are in CW mode because there is no icon at the top to confirm that, just AM, LSB and USB icons. I have suggested to Georgiy that he include some confirming icon for CW mode.
Thanks for showing how to set time etc. Where you have AGC on screen mine says Att. Also if you press and hold Freq and Volume in at the same time it does a reset or restart. Cheers from old George. Ps just getting back into Radio. G1 Ham in the UK.
I'll be making another video showing other hidden features of the radio. I've been listening to radio for over 30+ years and still enjoy the hobby and learning on it to this day. Enjoy.
@@GerryDX Hi Gerry I got my Ham Licence in 1983. But gave up the Hobby due to where I lived and local rf interference. But planning on just using radio again just from my old motorhome when travelling away from home etc. I am an ex Radiospares guy. Been in radio from age of 12. Valves mainly. But now getting used to Digital stuff. My first HF radio weighed 16 stone. Now radios fit in pocket. Cheers from old George
Cheers Gerry......finally got the CW decoder function to work thank you. It decodes very well. Always wondered what the white line was under the speaker icon. Do you have the RDS decoder for FM radio stations on your software ? Must say I am very pleased with the Chinese version of the Malachite, just wish there was a fix for the poor HF performance on the telescopic antenna. Good DX and thanks for sharing. Cheers.....Ralph
On mine i push and kinda hold above the visual button to go to CW the a 2ed time to go in to scanned mode in that screen tap and you can auto scan. then tap and hold the screen above the visual button and go to waterfall. I have V1.10c Your video tough me a few tricks i didn't know.
There are firmware updates but you risk bricking the unit. No DRM as of yet. I would like to see PSK as a new feature but maybe down the road. Glad it has the morse code decoding feature.

Yes. That would be nice. Do the best with what the radio offers.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have a Russian unit on order and your video will be very useful.
Thanks.
Where did you find a Russian unit?!
@@scottbelcher9026 It's a chinese clone.
If you want more information videos help my channel out by subscribing and giving a thumbs up!

@@MakeDoAndMend1 Glad to see you came back to radio. MLA-30 is a great portable SWL antenna that you can take anywhere and very cheap to buy. Cheers.

Yes RDS works great. Gotta find a station with talk to make a video. Get a MLA-30+ for shortwave and use the whip outside.
There is a cheap fix for the poor whip performance on HF. A 49:1 balun to fix the impedence mismatch. There's a YouYube vid on it.
On mine i push and kinda hold above the visual button to go to CW the a 2ed time to go in to scanned mode in that screen tap and you can auto scan. then tap and hold the screen above the visual button and go to waterfall.
I have V1.10c
Your video tough me a few tricks i didn't know.
Hi Gerry, I apreciate your deep knowledge on this wonderful radio, is there a way to get the cursor changing spot during tuning instead of waterfall?
I'm not sure what your asking. Go to the Malahitteam Facebook group and ask the developers.
Can you help me...I want to order one from Banggood, but I see one says registered. Do you know why this one says registered?
Should be fully open if it's registered. Double check with the seller to make sure!
I heard these dont work with the telescopic antenna is this true??
They work great with telescopic antennas outside but indoors reception is not good.
I would love if somebody made
a dash mount for these.
Did you buy the $50 software license/upgrade in order to get CW decode to work?
Yes
If you tap above your single meter it will clear your decode sentence.
Yes it will.
Aye, thanks as well. Disregard my comment on another one of your vids. Like the content!
No worries!
On eBay, it looks like there are a few variations of this receiver from $100 to $200+. Which one do you recommend?
They are pretty much the same unit. Try and get the cheaper priced unit and check the reviews of the seller. Good luck!
Thanks again
YW.
Hi Gerry, I have a pic off the Chinese Malahite site, how do I send it to you.
Send it to my Facebook group.
Is there any custom open source firmware uvailable for theese, does it come with drm decoder?
There are firmware updates but you risk bricking the unit. No DRM as of yet. I would like to see PSK as a new feature but maybe down the road. Glad it has the morse code decoding feature.
@@GerryDX you can brick your unit?
How is that possible?
@@DXingSlovenija If your upgrading the firmware and it's unsuccessful.
Gerry does this have a headphone jack.
Yes.
The touch screen doesn't seem very responsive on that receiver.
You probably have a bad unit. Contact the seller to fix it or get a refund.
Can it decode FT8 or RTTY?
Not yet. In the next firmware update probably.
Wauw!
Lol!
