What you will take away from this week's podcast: Uniden has a new public-facing representative, Joe Bearcat. Joe announced his new position as the official Uniden representative and Uniden scanner Product Manager. This fills in the gap left by Paul "Upman" Opitz' sudden passing in 2019 The announcement relieved a lot of people who worried about Uniden remaining a strong player in the hobby with Paul’s passing. Joe’s background is in scanning and he’s had a career in two-way radio and in the RF field. To learn more about "Upman", his legacy, and passing, please listen to Session 106 Joe will be fulfilling some of Paul’s forum duties on Radio Reference. In an interesting turn, Joe posted on Radio Reference asking for input on a potential future product. What other surprises will Joe Bearcat have for us?
