I use Win4K3 with CW Simmer. I can see what the band looks like in the
spectrum display in Win4K3 and refine my selection and decode call signs
for 1/2 the sampling rate of my sound card in CW Skimmer. Together they
are a powerful combination. Both control the frequency tuning of your
radio.

Re: If you want to point and click to EXACT frequencies, I recommend
CW
Skimmer
Both CA Skimmer and Rocky have this feature. All you need to do is
click
within a pixel or two of the desired signal and it pulls the
frequency to
zero beat the signal. I have only used it on CW, so I don't know if
it
works for other modes. It is similar to the CWT function.
As I said "Skimmer is the only SDR program I'm aware of that calculates
exact frequencies for its decoder dots" and I haven't researched newer
programs since 2011, so there are probably others now.
BTW your comment assumes the calling station in question is still there
for
CWT-like behavior to work. The 599 function will send the K3 to the
frequency of the *last* station worked in the pileup, even though he's
probably no longer transmitting.
Here's another neat thing you can do with Skimmer and a script to
control it
via a mouse wheel. I use the wheel to quickly tune up or down the band
in
contests. No need to mess with carefully positioning a mouse, pressing
a
knob, etc. Note that this is Blind Skimmer mode (no callsign decoding)
which is legal for unassisted contest categories.
