• Fixed - Database 'Note' and 'Record' (on unsupported Record scanners) fields at the channel level are more reliable in retaining the data after a download from the scanner.
• Fixed - Scanner Sizable Window - Knobs weren't turning when dragging the mouse within the knobs.
• Fixed - BC125AT, UBC125XLT, & UBC126AT scanner - Lookup Record Flag From Database wasn't working.

Yes you can program your 536 with it. However I have to question where you're getting this from that it's 10 years old.

As mentioned above, the latest version of ProScan (23.5) was released less than 2 weeks ago and fully supports the BCD436HP and BCD536HP (it has supported them for a long time).

ProScan software is one of the most frequently upgraded and improved software packages of any kind that you will find anywhere. As far as I remember, ProScan was first released sometime around 2008, and has been updated well in excess of 100 times since then.

The author of ProScan is a long time member of Radio Reference and has given extensive support and assistance to countless members here.
