They do pretty well but can suffer if you have a nearby MW transmitter, although that’s common amongst MW receivers in general. Issues are easily avoided with a sensible antenna and judicious use of attenuation.
OK, that makes sense.
I have as low power transmitter, but it doesn't pose much of a problem once I'm a room or two away (plus, I can just turn it down or off).
Another question, if I may, is whether it supports stereo sound while in AM mode (aka, C-QUAM)? It would be fun if it did, as my transmitter supports it.

Has anyone bought and received one like in the 1st post?
I have and it's due to arrive soon.
I knew you had one coming in. Was hoping someone in the USA ordered one. Hope you get yours soon. don't forget to post pics.
Mine is doing fine. Some touch screen and display noise with a whip antenna. On externals away from the receiver, it's pretty rock solid and quiet. FM is great, but after Sirius in my cars all these years now, the commercials drive me crazy. I really don't have any serious complaints about it, nobody can deny the strength and finish of the case, for sure!
Ratboy, how’s the waterfall display? Who did you order yours from?
This is what I'd be interested in knowing as well. There are so many links from various places, YouTube videos, etc., that point to these things, different pricing, etc. I had a Chinese one a few years ago and it was horrible. Further it did not have the licensing for full coverage as it was advertised. I wound up sending it back. Allegedly these come out of the box with full coverage, and the reviews I've seen are very positive. An exact link to the model purchased would be great. Thanks.
Just checked the tracking on my Malahit delivery.
Its been released from customs and is now out with a courier service.

I bought a GA800 antenna to go with it.

Let us know how that antenna performs. Looks interesting
Tech Minds has a video review on it.
Radio arrived yesterday.
It's identical to the one in the video.
Just learning how to drive it now.

I got mine from Banggood. I have bought things from them for a while now, and nothing ever came dead or damaged and it mostly came pretty quickly. Aliexpress is the same, nothing bad to say about them, either. I was listening yesterday to one of the few things I can listen to in my RFI hell of an apartment, Airband. About the only things available at home are FMBC, Air, and VHF high. AMBC and SW are crushed with noise to the point about 3 AM stations are tolerable(only one is really good, 1370 WSPD) to listen to and SW is about the same. The NR needs to have a cleaner signal to really get a lock or whatever on it. I heard a lot of plane to ground traffc using the supplied whip and the "donut" antenna I got Friday from Aliexpress. Only about 4" in diameter, but works pretty well and doesn't hit stuff. As a portable away from home, it's pretty great. I like the display a lot. Battery life is good, obviously better with phones.
I suggest anyone interested in this radio to go to youtube and watch the videos by "hamtech radio scanner M0FXB and drone hobby". Lots of good info and it does a lot of things I was unaware of completely, even after reading the little manual.

Have you found a way to set the frequency tuning step, so you dont have to do it every time you go to another band?
Can you folks who has one post some pics?
I'm not good at posting pics.

I haven't messed with it this week much. I was having car issues and sat home until I could get to someplace and buy a new battery. The OE battery was stone cold dead when it was under 20 degrees, but was able to start the car without issues when it was over 20.
ALL receivers are useless at home, they can't pick up HF much at all, even stuff that blasts in is swamped by the insane buzzing RFI I have in my apartment complex. I did manage to get WWV on the Malahit a couple of times.
I would think that once you get the memories set up, the step would be saved too, but maybe it doesn't work that way. I sure wish I could listen at home instead of my car or going to a friend's place who lives in RF heaven, quiet, and no nearby transmitters at all. He can hear Detroit, Ann Arbor, Monroe, NW Ohio in Lucas, Wood, and Fulton counties. I would love to have his coverage with just the discone he has in his attic.
Hi ratboy, I guess its pretty cool in Ohio atm.
We're mid-summer here in NZ.
You are correct, when I use the memories, it saves the step setting.
I've already filled up all 50 of them.
Have you tried a loop antenna for your location?
