I find that there are many com ports that say they are in use but are
invalid. I used a cable tester application from here:
scroll to the bottom and look for the download link:
interface cable loopback tester. While it will test
several cables the reason in your case if you have
many com ports that say they are in use, the tester
software will report invalid ports. Those are ports still
written in the registry previously used. But they can be
used again I've done it several times. When you change
the driver com port and it says In Use, just ignore and ok
the change.

Well, I use COM ports w/ Chirp into the 100's. I agree that
enumerating or "blindly" extending the list is a bad idea. My
suggestion is to remember any valid (1-256) COM port(s) manually
entered into the "COM box", and present them in future
invocations.

I see that the new version (0.3.0) enumerates all the serial ports
in use; thanks!!!
However, it enumerates the serial ports in
alphabetical
order, not
numeric order.
I'd suggest the latter, so that COM11
follows COM2, and not
precedes it.
