A group of engineers have just released for ordering the new <strong>Malahit-dsp<\/strong>. And it&#8217;s truly impressive! Picture an Icom IC-R8600 with the size of a Sony 7600G!<\/p>\n<p>It seems it all started in June this year. Back then, RX9CIM George posted a note in QRZ.com forum about a new project he had been working of a standalone, SDR-based, all-band, all-mode receiver called Malahit-dsp.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to November and it seems the project is finally complete as new posts started to bubble up in Youtube and in Russian forums. George is now taking orders of the Malahit DSP.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t read Russian, but with the help of Google Translator, we can find some interesting details:<\/p>\n<p>The project authors are RX9CIM George, R6DAN Vladimir and R6DCY Vadim. It seems their goal was to design a low-cost portable SDR radio, using only easily obtainable components and to become the natural successor of the popular Degen and Tecsun radios.<\/p>\n<p>Technical Specifications<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 MHz to 1000 MHz.<\/li>\n<li>Bandwidth 160 kHz.<\/li>\n<li>Modulation types AM, WFM, NFM, LSB, USB.<\/li>\n<li>Powered by one Li-ion cell.<\/li>\n<li>Consumption up to 300 mA<\/li>\n<li>Main chip ARM STM32H743VIT6 MCU High-performance and DSP with DP-FPU, ARM Cortex-M7 MCU with 2MBytes Flash, 1MB RAM, 400 MHz CPU<\/li>\n<li>Printed circuit board is used four-layer, factory-made; for purchase, refer to RX9CIM. malahit_sdr@rambler.ru<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PCB only: ~ USD 17.22<br \/>\nFinished receiver delivered inside Russia: USD 195.65<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40551\" src=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board.jpg 830w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Malahit-dsp-Board-624x375.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the forum, there is also this important note: &#8220;Attention!

You can purchase components or finished devices from George only &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It seems the project is open source, the schematic, PCB and software are available to download.<\/p>\n<p>I really hope this receivers becomes popular and available world wide. I also hope this new project &#8220;shakes&#8221; a bit the industry of shortwave receivers. Since the Degen 1102\/03, Tecsun 450\/600, Tecsun PL310\/880, we have been seeing only iterations of the same designs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Group dedicated to Malahitdsp<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/malahitdsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/vk.com\/malahitdsp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recent discussion on Malahit, annoucement of ordering is now available, pictures and videos<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/hamforum.ru\/viewtopic.php?t=193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/hamforum.ru\/viewtopic.php?t=193<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BeyAX3jv_LM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Video 1<\/a>: Shows the soldering of large components (encoders, speaker, SMA jack) on the radio board and installing it into the metal enclosure.
