The waterfall in CW Skimmer is extremely accurate for that sort of 
thing.  Whether you mouse click on a "decoder" (station) or use the 
Up/Down arrow keys to jump from one to the next, the zero beat is very, 
very accurate.  So much so that when I was using CW Skimmer in 3 KHz 
audio mode simply to step through stations (using the arrow keys) for 
S&P on VFO B, it was actually too good ... the tone for each station I 
stepped through was always identical, making it sometimes difficult to 
recognize that I had actually QSY'd.

The decoders in CW Skimmer home in VERY tightly.
