You just described the problem most SDRs have (excluding Skimmer).  You must
manually point a mouse or turn/press a knob to QSY.  The advantage Skimmer
has is that your fingers never need to leave your logging keyboard to do
super-fast S&P on the same band the K3 is on.

Up Arrow to the next higher decoder dot (or Down Arrow for lower).
Identify by ear or contest logger's bandmap color code.
Work if needed; ignore if not.
Up Arrow to the next.

This is SOOOO much faster than using either a mouse or knob that it's a huge
advantage (e.g. CT1BOH below)...and it's perfectly legal for unassisted mode
when using Skimmer's Blind Mode (no text decoding).

If the P3 can solve the zero-beat QSY issue, hopefully there can also be
keyboard control to jump to the next station.  This would put it a step
ahead of Skimmer because of the advantages the P3 has in SPAN widths and VFO
flexibility (either A or B using A's IF OUT).
