[chirp_devel] [patch modified] doesn't recognize multiple comm ports in Win 7 - issue #2783
Description of the problem in the MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/en-en/library/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx "To specify a COM port number greater than 9, use the following syntax: "\.\COM10". This syntax works for all port numbers and hardware that allows COM port numbers to be specified." But there is not quite right :) They write "\.\COM10" it's not going to work. Correctly so: "\\.\COM10"
I tested on Win7x32, COM > 9. Work correctly.
Added fixes to the drop-down list of ports. In the name of the port removing unnecessary characters for the user's convenience.

Won't this cause us to detect them, but then fail to open them? Or is the failure just in the detection code above?

No, no problems. I checked in his Win7x32. Chirp reads and writes to the ports greater COM9. Initialize the port goes up. win32file.CreateFile()

I modified the registry to make one of my ftdi cables show up on com14. Both the old port (com4) is listed since it was the last used, along with the new port number com14. Com14 works in chirp to download my radio as expected on win10 x64. Seems ok to me!

Apparently another side affect of this issue has been that when there are mmultiple com ports available, only 1 port would in the list to choose from. I plugged in 5 USB-to-Serial cables and all 5 COM ports were in the list.

Is that issue still happening, or is it fixed?
