For me it would simply be a way to export the data from the recording headers into an excel spreadsheet. That way I could sort the data the way I would like to sort the data. On the Unidens, I use ProScan to log the data, and copy and paste the ProScan log into a spread sheet.
Sorting the data via excel just makes things easier to find in the future.
Here's a little app that will parse all the AU files on the scanner's SD card, dumping data in CSV format.

It's a console app. Open a command window (start -> run -> cmd) and cd to the directory where you unzipped the utility. Run it like this:
AUParse <drive>
where
<drive> is the drive letter assigned to the SD card, including the colon. For example, if you put the card in a card reader attached to your PC and Windows assigns "drive F:", you'd enter:
AUParse F:
The output will be dumped to the console. To save it as a file, redirect stdout to a file, like so:
AUParse F: > log.csv
The resulting CSV file should be suitable for loading into Excel.
The utility expects the scanner's REC directory (including ARINDEX.DAT and all subdirectories) to be in the root of the specified drive. That is, it's intended to be aimed at the scanner's SD card.
The utility dumps all fields in the .AU header, except the .AU-specific stuff (magic number, etc.). It puts a header line at the top of the output.
