In this episode, we learn about Joe Bearcat, the new Product Service Representative at Uniden America.

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?
