Malahit DSP2 – Firmware – Changelog

Here you can find the changelog: Changelog (Перечень изменений) – Google Docs

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 2021.07.24

  • fixed battery voltage indication
  • fixed behavior of encoder buttons at low supply voltage
  • protection against false switching has been made – for switching on by three, set switch 2 to the On position.
  • added test function – increased display frequency. This reduces noise and increases the number of frames per second; To enable this function, set switch 3 to On. The function may not work correctly, if so, please let me know
  • the level of interference from the display is slightly reduced
  • changed the distribution of frequencies to which the input high-pass filters are turned on
  • when HiZ is turned on, the power supply of the external active antenna is automatically turned off;
  • added indication of external antenna power on – now the ANT indicator is highlighted in red if this function is enabled
  • the algorithm for displaying the picture on the display, slightly reduces the level of interference
  • changed the panorama display mode from “Pan & WTF Disabled / Enabled” to “Pan & WTF Single / Always”, while the panorama image is now always present, but it is updated once (when the settings are changed) or always.
  • fixed attenuators bugs

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 SAM 2021.07.31

  • SAM functionality

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 2021.08.13

  • corrected voltmeter operation
  • added SAMU, SAML modes
  • increased interface display frequency
  • improved switching between menus – now it does not pause
  • optimized the WFM algorithm, the receiver began to work faster
  • improvements made to Pan & WTF Single mode
  • removed graphical artifact near the SQL indicator

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 2021.08.16

  • improved suppression of interference from the display. Now in SSB, AM, NFM modes, noise reduction is automatically turned on. This slows down the speed of the user interface, but greatly reduces the clutter! This function is not used in WFM mode.

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 2021.08.17

  • Waterfall bandwith increased from 160khz to 192khz

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10 2021.08.25

  • added Pseudo Stereo function. Added Pseudo Stereo button to Audio menu
  • added the ability to switch audio output in the HARD menu – added the Audio out button. Ph + Sp – headphones and speaker, Phone – headphones, Speaker – speaker
  • added PGA BST function to HARD menu. This function can be useful when receiving strong signals and receiving congestion. When overloading, you must select the Disabled position.
  • changed the arrangement in the frequency bar under the spectrum
  • changed the behavior of the receiver with a short press on the power button. Now, with a short press in the receiver, the touchscreen is turned off, the spectrum and waterfall work similarly to the Pan & WTF Single option.
  • the lower operating frequency has been reduced from 50 kHz to 20 kHz.

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – 2.10D 2021.08.26

Alle changes between 2.0 and all test version to 2.10D are included:

  • fixed battery voltage indication

  • optimized the WFM algorithm, the receiver began to work faster
  • improvements made to Pan & WTF Single mode
  • removed graphical artifact near the SQL indicator
  • correction of S meter was introduced depending on the range. Now the S meter is accurate enough
  • improved suppression of interference from the display. Now in SSB, AM, NFM modes, noise reduction is automatically turned on. This slows down the speed of the user interface, but greatly reduces the clutter! This function is not used in WFM mode.
  • added Pseudo Stereo function. Added Pseudo Stereo button to Audio menu

  • changed the arrangement in the frequency bar under the spectrum
  • the lower operating frequency has been reduced from 50 kHz to 10 kHz.
  • span increased to 192 kHz.
  • changed properties of USB audio devices – now IQ 192kHz, simple audio – 48kHz.

Malahit DSP2 – Firmware Changelog – Test 2.10E 2021.10.08
