idk, but I just found this from a google search I did trying to find the link to the show..
Who is JoeBearcat?
This new JoeBearcat account appeared on RadioReference in January, but who is JoeBearcat, really? The mystery is now fully revealed! JoeBearcat is none other than Joseph “Joe” McElhaney…unidenfacts.wordpress.com
Well, that certainly puts some things into perspective and might even explain this thread from earlier this year, where people were complaining about Airspy.us being unresponsive. Sounds like someone has stretched himself a bit thin.
Is Airspy US still in business?
I ordered & paid thru Paypal from them on January 14, order shows as "processing" and emails requesting an update go unanswered. Very unusual, as I have ordered from them previously & always got fast shipping. Their website does not have any contact info other than a web contact page, which I...

Wow, finally this thread is taking a turn, I could never really figure it out, it made no sense, until now.I always suspected it was ye old trusted Voyager (Joe) wearing a new hat.
For those Old-Timers who know what the deal is now, after seven months and well over a thousand posts without one Improvement to the SDS series, quite honestly, I had my doubts when first of all... The cheesy name of Joe bearcat as opposed to a real person and why he did not respond to my request for him to take the latest serial number sds 200 into his office with a screwdriver and confirm that the hum issue had been resolved.
This Thread needs to be shot and buried. Enough already.

Why is everyone so suddenly surprised ??? The writing has been on the wall, and in this thread, for a long time. You've read many of my previous posts trentbob. So I knew that you knew. And you knew that I knew.
I liked the "What's My Line" tie-in. Blindfolds on for the Mystery Challenger.

Given these latest revelations Buddy, unfortunately, this is one date, that won't be putting out LOL.
I always wondered why he was the one who had the first post regarding the passing of Paul in late December 2019. Those of us who were following Paul's blog everyday and knew the scope of the situation, I knew the end was near. Couldn't figure out why after so long not posting, he made the announcement.

Whoever "Joe Bearcat" really is, he did offer folks suggestions on correcting some of the issues they were having with their Uniden scanners, particularly the SDS series. And he certainly admitted on many occasions that he did not rise to the level of a Paul Opitz. I think the thrust of the comments of the past few days would seem to question exactly where in the "pecking order" he is in the Uniden chain of command. Or if he is actually working for Uniden at all. I do recall those posts that other have also mentioned, that he had been "vetted" by Radio Reference.
Most of the frustration, as folks here have mentioned, is that with all of the hundreds of great suggestions made to Joe Bearcat, not a single one has come to fruition, at least as of this date. I hope Joe Bearcat, whoever he really is, continues to participate in a positive way in the forums. But sadly, if he does actually work for Uniden, he is not the guy with that special ability to get things done.

Now you folks know why I have not been real kind to JoeBearcat here. I am glad this BS has finally hit the fan. JoeBearcat will never do anything you have asked him to. Shame on him, Uniden and RR for sponsoring this BS. Now you know one reason why I don't pay for 'Premium' access to this site. It is entertainment only in spite of what you fanboys think.
Just curious, Sponsoring what "BS"? Are you saying he doesn't actually work for Uniden? f so, how do you know that? Lots of people have more than one job.
Huh? What does RR have to do with this?
You know, the thing...
This thread:
Didn't "Joe/Voyager" take a week off from posting so Radio Reference folks could verify his identity...or at least that's what he said and then he was able to use that in his screen name which appeared on every posting he made?
Correct. Uniden did confirm Joe Bearcat was an employee and at that time, he was given the Uniden Representative badge. Not really sure how that equates to “sponsoring this BS”?
So maybe Joe Bearcat simply serves as a Uniden-sanctioned pressure relief valve whose purpose is to give us an outlet for our frustrations. But if in the end he's powerless to do anything, that'll only increase the frustration.
