[Elecraft] K3S - Is there a way to send CW via USB computer and hear the sidetones?

[Jerry Moore]

I'll have to play with it. I have the K3S connected to the computer via USB.
As far as I know I'm not able to connect to the DB9 to use RTS keying. I
could be mistaken. 
I'm already in CW mode, Test, QSK ON, Monitor turned up. When using my Key
connected directly to the Radio Key jack (to enable use of the internal
keyer) I can hear everything I send. 

It's ONLY when I send via DM on the computer that I don't hear the side
tones. The audio blanks out like the radio is sending, there's a flashing TX
on the right side of the LCD, the RED TX lamp on the left is OFF indicating
that I'm not going over the AIR. I'll check with the other settings in DM.

DM780 will do "KY" (CW [KY Cmd]), it will use a Winkeyer (CW [Winkey]), or
it will flip a line on a serial port (CW) in addition to using audio tones
in DATA A (CW [SSB]).  Any of the first three options will key the K3/K3S
sidetone (MONI).
