I just flashed my Malahit DSP SDR ver 1.10d with encoder problem to 1.10d_r2_p but i got more troubles with freq encoder, it become totaly craisy. I must return to initial 1.10d firmware which work better then r2_p version. I flashed directly without downgrade. Did I something wrong ?🤔

My receiver was at 1.1d but when I downloaded 1.10d_r2_d the encoder was actually worse (bigger jumps, different directions). The software did download correctly and I could see a different splash screen. I was able to download 1.10_d_r2 and return back to the original program. The encoder still jumps but not as bad as when running the _P version. Any Ideas? I would really like to fix the encoder problem.

I added a link in the description. Its the bottom link. Theres a detailed write up and comment section with a couple people that have had this issue. From what ive read, if the Patch doesnt fix the encoders you may have low quality components or a bad redesign of the input circuit that doesnt sync well with the patched firmware timing modification. Several people swapped encoders first with no change. software fixed it. You might have to replace the encoders and use the patched firmware. Not sure tho.

@@Sebestyen85 This is the official changelog: 1.0a: - added S-meter calibration - S-meter error has been fixed due to which previously signals above 59 + 20dB were not visible - sound indication is entered during manual shutdown or touchscreen - sound off indication is entered - fixed frequency correction error (parameter F correct) - introduced the function of filling the panorama - the FFT fill parameter in the HARD menu - added turning off the touch screen with a long press on the sound encoder - something in the little things 1.0b: - added RDS reception in WFM - to enable RDS, you need to click on the waterfall field when receiving in WFM. RDS reception is only possible if the RDS level is high enough - fixed bug of filter switching on additional board - fixed error in msi001 settings - receiver at 50MHz goes through, without hole at 50MHz - added a parameter to the hard menu - BEEP LVL - the volume of the tone when you press the controls - some minor bugs fixed 1.0c: - dsp filter settings are moved to the hard menu; - added three operatively switchable filters - selection by means of a sound encoder; - introduced deceleration of the encoder when switching pages band; - introduced the deceleration of the sound encoder when switching the filter; - minor fixes in the RDS part; - in RDS mode added frequency markers 19, 38 and 57 kHz; - minor improvements and bug fixes; 1.0d: - fixed USB operation - USB was unstable on version 1.0c - protection against false switching is made - when switching on, press the button 3 times within an interval of 5 seconds 1.0e: - a possibly critical error has been fixed - there was an incorrect work with memory and there could be problems with data processing; - added additional characters in the font, when displaying RDS and CW decoder information; - corrected S-meter - now more accurate S scales; - added the ability to indicate the signal level in dBm - in the HARD menu, the "Ind type" parameter. Readings are displayed to the right of the S meter scale. 1.0f: - introduced a stylized retro scale in the FM broadcast range; - increased the degree of averaging of the S-meter; - changed the frequency correction mechanism - now it should be more accurate and does not depend on the frequency at which the calibration is done; - detected and fixed error of switching DFT 120-150 MHz; - renamed the state of the parameters: "Enable" to "Enabled", "Disable" to "Disabled"; - fixed a bug when working with a step of 8.33 kHz; - fixed error with receiver stuck at low supply voltage; - added selection of clock frequency depending on the processor revision: revision Y operates at 465MHz, revision V - at 480MHz; - reduced interference from the touchscreen; - changed the frequency of the PWM backlight for a more complete range of brightness control; - The error of saving settings in the Visual and Audio menus has been fixed - earlier settings might not be saved when they were changed; - S-meter correction made when UHF is turned on - made the mode of enabling and disabling the image of the panorama and waterfall - in the Visual menu the parameter "View Pan & Wtf. In this mode, the data in the display is only clamped when changing the settings by the user. This reduces the level of interference. - fixed a bug with step selection - the bug led to a frequency failure when choosing a step; - added shutdown timer - in the HARD menu the Activity timer button; - the switching mechanism is changed - one press at a time in three; - in the Visual menu, the bug with the backlight of the "LCD Sleep" button has been fixed. 1.10a: - changed the inscription on the splash screen; - changed the inscription of the Vbat control option - Standart is replaced by Standard; - at the request of the users, the sensitivity of the touchscreen returned - please do not complain about the possible interference, we were not supporters of this return :) - changed the setting of the reverse encoders. This is now one option on the hard menu; - added autosearch of stations for Retroscale in VHF FM; - added the option step "<-NEXT->" on the Retroscale for transition by rotating the knob from station to station (if available on the scale); - added color selection (one of three) for Retroscale; - added IQ swap option to the HARD menu - to solve problems with Chinese clones, in which I and Q signals are mixed; - on the main screen the AGC adjustment is replaced by ATT; - added a DC suppression adjustment function to the VISUAL menu - this is a hump in the center of the panorama. 1.10b: - fixed error in the S-meter readings for frequencies above 30MHz; - the panorama scale injection has been changed - now instead of x1, x2, x4, 160kHz, 80kHz, 40kHz are shown; - in SSB the 100kHz step is excluded and the 25Hz step is added; - the touchscreen sensitivity is lowered again :); - added synchronous AM detector; - the frequency at which the low-pass filter 500000 is turned on is increased to 540,000, for better suppression of signals above the frequency of 500 kHz; - added Auto Notch filter to the Audio menu; - stretched grunginess adjustment; - added DSB mode - as a kind of SSB; - added CW mode - as a kind of SSB; 1.10c: - improved graphical display of the spectrum - improved optimization of algorithms, increased display speed, especially in WFM mode - added the ability to determine the type of inclusion - one or three clicks. If PD15 (pin 7 of the RESERVED field) is open, then turn on by one press; if this pin is shorted to a common wire, then turn on by three clicks - the HARD menu has been improved - changed battery indication - voltage is indicated over the picture - added the ability to control user equipment using a discrete signal - PD14 (pin 8 of the RESERVED field) - added a button for switching audio output in the HARD menu. It duplicates the audio output switch. Made by user request. - added modes SAM-U and SAM-L - added engineering settings to the HARD menu - added automatic Notch filter in AM mode - added saving of retro scale type - changed the management of high-frequency filters at the input of the receiver - fixed error during frequency tuning - fixed bugs in automatic station search in FM mode - added Pseudo Stereo function - added "CCIR / JAPAN" Retroscale band selector to AUDIO menu - respectively, added Retroscale for the Japanese VHF FM band 76.1 MHz - 94.9 MHz and 6 presets for different regions of Japan, agreed with Japanese users. - Fixed a bug when canceling the autosearch mode for stations and when exiting the autosearch without saving the found one (refusing to save the found). In previous versions, in these cases, all stations that were on the scale before the start of the autosearch were erased and the scale became empty. Now, in these cases, the original scale is restored. - the design of the regular end of autosearch has been changed, a table-grid of frequencies for found stations has been added, messages about the absence or the number of stations found have been added. - autosearch is no longer dependent on the inclusion of the stereo mode and the state of the activated outputs to the speaker and headphones, it works in any combination of states, after the end of the search, the original state of the stereo mode is restored. - in some places of the editing menu, the retroscales of the CANCEL key names are changed to EXIT, as they are closer in the meaning of the action being performed. - Added a limitation on the number of stations on Retroskale - 69 for the CCIR band and 63 for JAPAN - as the maximum number with an interval between neighboring stations from 300 kHz and above. - fixed minor bugs of previous versions related to preserving the color of the scales and saving the step type (50 kHz / NEXT) for each scale. - reduced the speed of switching stations in the NEXT step mode. - the operation of the synchronous AM detector has been fixed (07/26/2021) 1.10d: - fixed the error indicating the firmware version. The version is now indicated on the splash screen in the lower right corner - added display noise reduction function to HARD menu - WTF replaced with WF - changed encoder control - now, being in the menu, the frequency encoder is used for control - added 9kHz step in SSB - added the ability to select colors in the Visual menu - excluded Sleeptime parameter for backlight control - no delay when switching between menus - small bugs fixed - 11/17/2021 lower receiving frequency reduced to 10 kHz

Well, didn't quite work for me. I tried some double sided foam tape(leaving paper on one side) and I definitely looks like it presses the lower black switch first. This time the fuse blew on very first try instead of after a couple of runs like the first change. Maybe I just need to get the two plastic latch parts anyway...

Thanks for posting this. I came to the same conclusion you did after looking at the schematic. I tested all the switches and they are all fine. I glued a small piece of metal on the latch with epoxy like you did with the zip tie and so far so good it seems to be working without blowing a fuse or circuit breaker. I'm going to put a drop of oil on the plastic piece to try and reduce the friction. The wear on my latch bracket isn't as bad as yours. This is the best fix I have seen to an obvious design flaw from GE.

Thank you for posting a reference to your fix on another video. Your suggestion gets to the heart of the design flaw better than biasing the upper switch and adding the extra screw. I fixed ours by using a small amount of moldable polyester plastic that is pliable at 150F but cools to a tough, hard, slick surface. I wrapped in around in a thin bad and let it cool in place. I didn't want to go straight to permanently glued material like your piece of zip tie, until I was confident in how much material was needed. Will see how long this lasts. But wanted to acknowledge how helpful your well-conceived solution is. BTW mine is a different GE microwave, but has the same design flaw. PVM9005SJSS
