Jason,

I have developed an excel macro 70% that takes blm's according to your
datalog (with a wideband) and automatically makes corrections to your ve
table.  You can copy and paste from a generated VE Table to and from Excel
and TunerPro.  There's an import button on the front sheet to pull in a
.csv datalog.  Message me for more info.
