I've been trying to find a way around this issue for quite some time, but to no avail.
I've got several USB->Serial port devices on my machine, including a RIGblaster Advantage, and an Edgeport/8. I've got UDEV rules set up so that it doesn't matter which order the devices come up; they're all assigned fixed aliases that are always attached to their individual ports. For example, whether my RIGblaster comes up as /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB9, it's assigned an alias at /dev/ttyUSB-RB that is always linked to that device. Likewise, my Edgeport ports can come up as /dev/ttyUSB0 to USB7 or 1 to 8 or 2 to 9, etc... but the ports are always assigned a symlink by the system as /dev/ttyUSB-EP0 through EP7. WSJTX doesn't see the symlink ports in the dropdown. I have been able to manually enter the alias for the RIGblaster, and WSJTX does save the setting... I'm not certain whether this is an OS limitation or a limitation in the way WSJTX parses the /dev files, and, as I stated, I am able to manually enter the symlink alias and get it working. I'm just bringing this limitation to your attention in case there is something that can be done to make the dropdowns see the symlinks in WSJTX. Thank you for your time. 73 de AI8W, Chris
