    If you don't have a serial based device, like a beast or SBS. It shouldn't be asking that question.

    It auto searches during setup, or if set as dbvt bypasses it.

      It should show up as something like /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyUSB0.

      You can try running dmesg | tail after plugging in the receiver to see what device it's assigned.

      If you still can't find it, make sure the drivers for the receiver are installed correctly.
