\"Belka-DX<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to\u00a0 Alex (EU1ME)–developer and manufacturer of the Belka DX<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 and Belka DSP<\/a><\/strong> shortwave receivers–who shares information about a new version of the Belka-DX:<\/p>\n

[Based on customer feedback, we’ve] added a built-in speaker to the Belka DX version. It’s an option that I believe also can be useful when listening this radio (broadcasts for example).<\/p>\n

The dimensions of the receiver remain the same. See photos attached.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Battery capacity is reduced from 2200 to 1250 mAh. Still, the built-in LI-Ion battery [will power] it for about 12 hours.<\/p>\n

As far as battery and speaker are connected to the device with sockets, it is quite easy to change batteries and back covers with or without speaker depending on situation.<\/p>\n

When back cover with speaker is installed one may still listen to the device with headphones (speaker will be muted).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks, Alex, for sharing this announcement. While I do most of my DXing with headphones, I love the idea of a speaker option for the Belka-DX especially for casual broadcast listening. The speaker appears to be an option you can purchase separately, or you can purchase the Belka-DX with the speaker option installed. I look forward to checking this out!<\/p>\n
