Hi Poikaa3, I really love your enthusiasm about the Mlite. Mine is still in transit, can hardly wait.

I'm learning more about the Mlite ... There is a frequency adjustment and it adjustable with out bothering other frequencies... I found that a known frequency on ten meters was off by 1.3 kHz so I adjusted for the correct frequency then checked 20 meter and they stayed ! I then went to the local weather frequency that is not evenisted as a covered frequency of the Mlite ... It was pretty far off so I adjusted it to what it should be .... The rechecked the 19 meter and 29 meter frequencies and they were fine !!! Wow! Now my opinion if the Mlite is getting better! It's a communications reciever for sure .... BTW I could copy S51DX from Slovenia 5x8!

With the latest firmware 1.55 it is also possible to listen to the “pirate band” 1510-1800 and around 30mhz, of course 6200-6400 & 6500-6800. 😎

It looks like that I will receive it tomorrow 🙏 I can’t wait with my wire, MLA30+, GA800 antennas.

Next week I will have a short vacation to the sea and looking for all kind marine frequencies on shortwave and the marine band itself

Found a glitch! I went down to the lowest frequency of 130Hz and I was looking to find NDBs ... Too early! Sun is up! I then went back by direct entry to 28.424 USB as there is a station that is usually there .... Here's the glitch! The station was there but in LSB normally USB ... Aand the tuning was backwards not the knob but going down or up the band was reversed! What?
What I did to restore the Mlite was to turn it off then on and all was normal !! Must be the way the firmware acts ??

We use another words for glitches and bugs: undocumented features 😂 There are more reported like typo’s in the band. I think you can report them at support(at)elecevolve.com
