Review on 50Khz 2000Mhz Malahit Receiver Malachite Shortwave by Andrew Kamkoff

There are many different clones of Russian Malachite and this one is one of the best. It features a durable all-metal body, which is key to reducing the screen's internal noise. Firmware 1.10b, more mature and functional than the demo version. The screen is responsive and clear. But the biggest downside of this particular clone is the tiny rear speaker. It's so metallic and penetrating that I find it unbearable at any volume. Because of this I had to send it back. My biggest gripe with this purchase has to do with the Malachite team developing the firmware. If you want to sell the original version, instead of using a non-professional Gmail account to correspond and making people wait 3-4 months for their radio, make your product more accessible outside of Russia.
