[chirp_users] Not showing COM10
Hi,
as I reported in my previous email I'm trying to upload memories to my Kenwood TH-F6A. While that's not working yet I figured I'd try to download them first and verify CHIRP talks F6A. To my surprise CHIRP does not show COM10 as an available port even though it is in the device manager. Putty can open the port fine so it's not occupied.
I use W7-x64.
What can I do?
thanks,

What can I do?
Type COM10 into the box and it will open it.
The only way for a "regular" Win32 program to enumerate the available serial ports is to literally try to open every single one of them to see if it fails or succeeds. This takes a bit of time, and can interfere with other things using the ports on your system. I can add this search logic to CHIRP, I just hate to solve the problem in that way.
If you'll open a ticket for extending the static list to, say, COM64, I'll be glad to shove that in to make it more intuitive.
