[hpsdr] Thetis won't start

[Tokio Endo]

Hello All,

I woul like to thank those who responded to my e-mail.

The issue was cleared temporarily.

As an interim solution, JI3GAB/1, Inoue-san, suggested replacing PA19.dll of Thetis with that of PowerSDR mRX. It worked fine. I succeeded in having Thetis working on my Japanese Windows 10 Pro.

JH1AIZ, Sasase-san, taught me to English Windows 10 on my PC by using Hyper-V which can switch OS on the same PC. I think it will work, since many hams who have installed US/European countries Windows 10, have no trouble to start Thetis.

Finally, W5WC, Doug, is now working on portaudio.cs codes of Thetis for the future release of Thetis.

The problem is not the Visual Studio versions, but resides in the codes. The actual Thetis portaudio.cs could not handle 2-byte character of Windwos Recoding and Playback devices.
