Problem Description
At the moment the app allows user to only choose serial ports it has detected in the system, with no way to override this selection list from the web UI.
If, for whatever reason PySerial doesn't detect the right port on which the rig is exposed (CAT or just PTT), it's required to modify the path in the config file.
Proposed Solution
Perhaps a switch in the Exp submenu that would enable manual override of these serial paths.
Alternatives Considered
Making the dropdown menu allowed for direct text input could be another solution. - This however, might be confusing for some users.
Additional Information
This seems to be a problem mostly for those who have unconventional setups and complex interfacing (MicroHAM, Flex SDR radio or any other CAT/PTT control that makes use of virtual COM / tty devices
