Bearpaw

See the radio world around you.

You listen. Bearpaw listens with you, keeping track of everything your scanner picks up and showing you the patterns as they build. Download a CSV if you want to dive deeper into the area's radio activity.

Bearpaw's Channels tab: an editable grid of channels with frequency, tag, mode, tone, and lockout columns, plus import, export, and upload controls

The channel editor, everywhere.

The BC125AT's own software is Windows-only. Bearpaw does the same job on Mac, Windows, and Linux: edit all 500 channels, banks, tones, and lockouts, then upload the lot to the radio.

Import and export as CSV or native Uniden files, so you can use legacy backup files.

Readable across the room

Everything from the scanner display, big enough to read from across the room. No more tiny LCD.

Every knob, from the app

The scanner's own settings at your fingertips without all the button pressing.

Charts, not just a log

Bearpaw gives you a visual of radio activity. You can also download the log and do your own thing.
