In this video I go through the firmware update process of the latest officially licenced Chinese clone of the Malahit / Malachite DSP2 SDR receiver, from the original 2.30 firmware to the recently released 2.40 beta firmware.
This latest version adds FT8 (and RTTY) decoding, and here I review this new functionnality and compare it with WSJTX decoding, with the Malahit connected to the PC via USB.
