KE2YK’s Notes:

Based on the information provided, the Belka-DX truly is a portable receiver that offers a ton of features. Its filter design makes it useful for copying CW which interests me most. Another feature I particularly like is that it’s so lightweight, I can backpack it and know it will not be a weight consideration when backpacking. The dynamics of this receiver provides solid listening even when band conditions are less than desirable.

Furthermore, the receiver’s memory function provides quick access to stored memories like HF SSB nets. The IQ output into a PC-based panadapter offers another interesting feature.

My opinion is that the Belka-DX is a well-designed and feature-rich receiver and a very good value for money. I don’t believe there is anything comparable on the market today.
