As part of both my motorsport and radio hobbies I purchased a Uniden Bearcat BC125AT scanner. While I was exploring nearby stations that I could listen to I discovered that the scanner has a USB serial interface that can be used to control it. To simplify its operation on Linux I developed a Python library to not only interact with the scanner via Python, but also remotely control it over the network. Currently, it only supports the BC125AT, but I plan to expand support as I acquire more scanners.
