Test Driving the Russia-Made Malahit DSP-2: SWLing rip.

Looks like the Russian have taken thing up a notch in DSP / SDR based receivers.    https://swling.com/blog/2021/07/guest-post-and-review-test-driving-the-russia-made-malahit-dsp-2/

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

I try to write these reviews in a way that gives a good impression
of the pros and cons.  The one major issue with the Malahit/Malachite
Russian version, and I have to think this holds true for the Chinese-made
ones as well, is the internally-generated noise, which they are working on.
Hopefully, future versions will tacklet this.  But for now, it is nice to have
a receiver like this with so many audio and other features.  Noise Reduction
alone is worth the price of admission.
