With the ARC536 software, users can enhance the capabilities of their Uniden BCD436HP, BCD536HP, and SDS scanners. This software simultaneously allows editing multiple HPD files and offers a True Excel style editor with cut/copy/paste options. Users can easily add frequencies, talk groups, control channel frequencies, and trunk systems not found in the built-in database. Additionally, ARC536 supports features such as adding Nascar and race frequencies, modifying alpha tags, adding subtones, and changing service types of frequencies and talk groups.

Moreover, ARC536 enables users to import data from www.radioreference.com, share HPD files with other scanner users, and perform bulk edits on channel parameters and database files. The software includes a duplicate finder for frequencies and talk groups, the ability to search frequency ranges, and the ability to reorder or rename favourite lists. Furthermore, ARC536 is the only home patrol software with a built-in GPS function for latitude, longitude, and zip code search, along with map functions for these search criteria.

System requirements for ARC536 include Windows 7/8/10/11, a minimum video resolution of 1024x800, and 512 RAM. Notably, dPMR support for SDS100E/SDS200E scanners requires an upgrade and is not included with ARC536. Keywords associated with ARC536 and compatible scanner models include SDS100, SDS200, SDS100E, SDS200E, NXDN, DMR, and dPMR.
