[chirp_devel] [patch] doesn't recognize multiple comm ports in Win 7 - issue #2783

[Alex K]

Yes, in the select list of the port, the port looks like "\\.\COM10". A bit
discouraged, but it works. I'll try to find and correct the selection list.
Ok. I get it. I'm not very familiar with the structure of the CHIRP. But
give me a day or two, I'll deal with it.
