WALL STREET RAIDER v. 9.75 INFORMATION AND DOWNLOADS

An "...IMAGINATIVE, STIMULATING, EDUCATIONAL..."
Business Simulation -- Investor's Business Daily


Always replace the thermal paste or thermal pads beneath the RF power amplifier module (U101) when reattaching the PCB to the chassis. Failure to do so will cause immediate thermal runaway and destroy the transmitter module.

Inject a calibrated -110 dBm signal at the operating frequency. If no signal appears at the 44.85 MHz first IF test point, replace the first mixer FET or check the LO injection level. Fault 3: Low or No Transmit Power

If the radio was connected to a reversed power source, this diode shorts out to protect the internal circuitry. Use a multimeter to check if it is shorted to ground, and replace it if necessary. Symptom: Poor Receiver Sensitivity

Used primarily for programming, tuning, and standard voice accessories. 8V DC (Max 100mA) Pin 2: BLINK (LED Control) Pin 3: Hook Switch (Monitor) Pin 4: Ground Pin 5: Mic Audio Input Pin 6: PTT (Push-To-Talk) Pin 7: SCI / BUS+ (Programming Data Line) Pin 8: Handset Audio Output 3. Comprehensive Alignment and Tuning Procedure

Experienced bench technicians frequently run into a few common issues with the GM3688. Symptom: No Power

Do not probe your GM3688 with a multimeter blind. You will short the 8-volt rail and kill the controller board. Do not guess which capacitor replaces C262 (I have the manual—it is a 10uF 16V Tantalum).

The 16-pin accessory port supports a wide range of expansion options for custom installations.

Maximizes receiver sensitivity across the entire frequency split.

Over years of service, internal crystal oscillators can drift, causing the radio to stray off-frequency. To correct this, you must perform a radio alignment. Required Equipment A calibrated Service Monitor or RF Signal Generator. A digital multimeter (DMM). An inline wattmeter and dummy load (50 ohms).

Connect the radio's antenna port to the RF communications analyzer via an inline dummy load. Power on the radio and launch the . Select Tuning -> Transmitter -> Reference Oscillator .

Or, view a series of YouTube STRATEGY VIDEOS one game reviewer created, showing you what playing a game of Wall Street Raider is like, plus his commentary. These are the first of a series of videos this chap (an obvious W$R junkie and expert) is creating, all of which are accessible on YouTube. The videos will give you an idea of some of the things you can do in Wall Street Raider (based on Version 7.60 and, in a new series, on Versions 7.8x, with 8.0 to come) and strategies for generating trillions (or more) in profits, trading stocks, options, futures and dealing in interest rate swaps. He has also begun posting a series of TUTORIAL VIDEOS on YouTube, including a NEW (2021) TUTORIAL on VERSION 9.0 of Wall Street Raider.

Wall Street Raider has been published and under continuous development since 1986, and it has received a number of very favorable reviews over the years from major Web sites, such as ZDNET, Download.com and PCWorld, as well as highly favorable reviews in print publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Byte Magazine, PC World, and, on June 22, 2000, we rated a two-column, very favorable front-page article in Investor's Business Daily, which called W$R an "...imaginative, stimulating..." business simulation. (That was a review of the old DOS version -- we came out with the much more sophisticated Windows version a year later.)

Previously, respected computer columnist Jerry Pournelle had written of W$R, that "You can really learn something about stocks, mergers, takeovers and the general world of finance, and have a whacking good time in the bargain." Always replace the thermal paste or thermal pads

Or read this detailed review of W$R on the Daily Speculations web site of legendary hedge fund manager Victor Niederhoffer, with the review written by Sushil Kedia, a frequent guest on CNBC in India. (In one of his books, George Soros wrote that Niederhoffer was the only one of his managers who ever retired voluntarily from trading for him while still ahead.) Niederhoffer's hedge fund was ranked #1 in the world, earning 35% a year from inception to 1996 but, alas, he was nearly wiped out in 1997 by excessive speculations in Thailand. Since then, he says he has been "...crawling back up the stairs, not entirely without success," after mortgaging his house and selling off his collection of antiques in 1998. As in Wall Street Raider, the real financial world is a jungle, in which one can go from riches to rags in a heartbeat....
