This is the third post I have read in the last couple of weeks
that mentions a bug in COM port handling where the COM port number
is above 10. I believe this is an straightforward fix.<br>
<br>
The problem appear to be in platform.py which generates a list of
available COM ports. It correctly starts by using the '//./'
prefix, but then strips it for display purposes. When it the
program then tries to use a port from the created list that is
above COM9, this will fail because for port above 9 Windows
requires the prefix, i.e. //./COM10. The program needs to retain
the '//./' prefix or have two name fields keeping the display name
separate from the system name.<br>
<br>
Since I don't know how the program is compiled/packaged into
.exe/.dll files on Windows, I can't actually test my theory at
present, however a quick an dirty fix might be to simply change
line 43 in platform.py from:<br>
<br>
43 if portname.startswith("\\"):<br>
44 portname = portname[4:]<br>
<br>
to;<br>
<br>
43 if (i<10 && portname.startswith("\\")):<br>
44 portname = portname[4:]<br>
<br>
This may not look pretty in the ports list but it might at least
make it functional. I seem to recall from some time ago that ports
below 10 must not have the prefix whereas it is necessary for 10
and above, but it was a long time ago. The other option might be
to simply comment out lines 43 and 44 but that may then fail for
ports below 10. Of course since the Windows version is
compiled/packaged, the user is not in a position to make this
change and and test so I am hoping the developers will see this
info.<br>

I find that I can only get Chirp to work with my BaoFeng
UV-5REs when I<br>
do it with Linux. I get the same as you when I use Windows.
It might be<br>
the cable (I use the one I got when I bought the UV5REs), or
it might be<br>
the software, but if you can get access to a Linux you
should be okay<br>
even with a basic after-market cable.<br>
<br>
Kind regards, Mark Dixon, VK6EZ.<br>
