INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased the finest sports radar system available. The
Stalker Sport 2 K band sports radar is designed to measure the speed of a wide variety of objects
such as baseballs, carnival balls, cars, tennis, and just about anything that moves.
The Stalker Sport 2 radar sends out very high frequency radio waves and measures the change
in the frequency after it bounces off a moving object. This is commonly referred to as “Doppler
Radar.” This invisible radio wave is extremely low power (about 1/200th of a watt) and is
completely safe for close and continuous operation.
The Stalker Sport 2 is a true “digital” radar system. The Sport 2 converts the reflected microwave
signals into a digital stream of data. The gun’s own computer then processes this data stream
using sophisticated programming, to interpret, filter, and measure the speeds. This technology is
closely related to the compact digital disc and modern personal computers. This type of radar
system has the potential to provide substantially superior performance and accuracy over
conventional radar systems.
While the technology in the Stalker Sport 2 is extremely advanced, its operation is quite simple.
Reading through this manual will help you to take full advantage of the many features and
capabilities of the Stalker Sport 2 radar.
Have Fun!

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Providing Power to the Sport2
The Battery Handle – The handle contains a built in battery holder. The Sport2 comes with 6
NiMH rechargeable batteries. When fully charged, the battery handle powers the gun for about 4
1/2 hours of continuous transmitting. These rechargeable batteries use the included Wall Charger
to recharge. You may also use 6 alkaline batteries.
It is possible to supply power thru a 12V DC cigar cable attached to the 9-pin connector on the
side of the gun.
Turning the Transmitter ON and OFF
The radar transmitter must be turned ON to measure speed. There are two ways to transmit:
press the trigger or press the TRANSMIT button.
Trigger Transmit - Squeeze and hold the trigger in to transmit. The settings are Con
(continuous), SS (Start/Stop), and Loc (lock). Con is the default setting. These settings are
explained in the Options Menu topic.
When the trigger is released, it stops transmitting, and any readings that were on the readout are
left on the screen. Since the transmitter draws most of the power, trigger operating helps to save
battery life.
Press the TRANSMIT Button - The silver Transmit button toggles the transmitter ON and OFF.
Each time you push this button, it switches between transmit and hold. Using this button to turn
on the transmitter allows the gun to continually operate automatically,
without the need to press the trigger. MPH PEAK
XMIT
* The XMIT icon displays when the gun IS transmitting.
* The XMIT icon does not display when the gun IS NOT transmitting.
Using the Trigger to Lock Speeds
The trigger serves two functions. It can control the transmitter or it can be used as a speed
locking device.
When the gun is placed into continuous transmit mode using the silver
Transmit button or if the Trigger Option is Loc (lock),
the trigger does not affect the transmitter. Instead, MPH / LOCK
XMIT I 2 4.8
press the trigger to lock the currently displayed speed
while the LOCK icon displays.
Press the trigger a second time to unlock the readout.
THIS FUNCTION IS USEFUL IF THE OPERATOR
NEEDS TO MANUALLY HOLD READINGS.
The RECALL Key Function
The silver RECALL button redisplays the last five speed readings that were measured. If the peak
speed, last speed, and the locked speed are stored, then they display in an alternating flash
mode when the RECALL is pressed. The speeds display in the SPEED WINDOW.
The MESSAGE WINDOW flashes the Recall Number, speed units, REC 1-5 / MPH PEAK

The Peak Function
The Peak option activates the automatic top speed display in the PEAK SPEED WINDOW.
When the Peak mode is ON, the PEAK icon appears on the display and only the highest speeds
display. For example, when tracking a baseball pitch, the peak speed is the same as the release
speed since a ball only slows down after it is thrown. MPH PEAK

The Range option affects the sensitivity (clocking distance) of the radar. The settings are:
3: Setting the range to 3 increases the gun’s sensitivity and lengthens the clocking
distance. It “looks” as far away as possible for targets and gives the gun the highest level
of performance. This is the default setting.
2: Setting the range to 2 sets the gun to a medium range in its clocking distance.
1: Setting the range to 1 decreases the gun’s sensitivity and shortens its clocking
distance. The 1 range setting is handy for clocking objects close to the gun and when you
want to restrict the gun from “seeing” objects farther out in the background.

BATTERY INFORMATION
The Sport2 uses 6-AA NiMH rechargeable batteries or 6-AA disposable alkaline batteries. Open
the end cap on the handle to access the battery compartment. The batteries’ transmit time is
approximately 4.5 hours.
Operational Time on the Battery Handle
The Sport2 draws the most current when it is transmitting. So the run time depends upon how
often the gun is transmitting. The Sport2 also has a sleep mode to conserve battery life when it is
not being operated. The sleep mode is automatically initiated after about 10 seconds of inactivity
with no speed display. Squeezing the trigger or pressing any key immediately “wakes the gun”
and brings it back to operation.
Operational Status Run Time
Continuous Transmitting 4.5 Hours
Typical Trigger Operation 10-20 Hours
In Sleep Mode 38 Hours
Low Battery Warning
The LO BAT icon displays when the battery runs
low. The Sport2 operates for a short time after
this. Now is the time to recharge or change the batteries.
RECHARGE OR CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN THE HANDLE.
PEAK
LO BAT
888.8
DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY HANDLE UNTIL THE GUN DISPLAYS LO BAT.
Charging the Batteries
Plug the wall charger RS-232 pin connector into the RS-232 connector on the Battery Handle
when the Sport2 LO BAT indicator displays continuously. Then plug the wall charger into a 110-
120 volt wall outlet. The batteries should take about 12 hours to recharge.
NiMH batteries perform best when they are fully discharged
and then fully recharged.
Auto-Shutdown Feature
The Sport2 has a 30 minute time-out auto-shutdown feature. After 30 minutes of non-use, the
Sport2 automatically shuts off.
How To Save Battery Life
• Since the transmitter has the highest current draw, turn the transmitter off whenever you
are not taking readings.
• If you use the trigger to start and stop transmitting, it’s easy to save battery life.
• If you tripod mount the gun, (and use the silver XMIT button to transmit) then turn the
transmitter off between sessions.

S Sport2 Owner’s Manual
ANGLE ERROR
The most common mistake made with all radar guns is trying to clock targets at angles.
All radar guns work on the Doppler principle and need to clock objects moving directly at or away
from the gun. Clocking at an angle with a stationary radar gun results in angle error, and the gun
displays a speed that is LOWER than the actual speed.

250.0 mph 250.0 mph 249.0 mph 246.2 mph 241.4 mph 216.5 mph 176.8 mph 0 mph
Radar Gun Placement
To get accurate readings, the radar gun must be placed in the line of travel of the target.
At slight angles, the error is very small, however at larger angles, the error becomes substantial.
Calculating Angle Errors
If you know the angle that you are clocking at, you can calculate the actual speed by taking the
radar reading and dividing by the cosine of the angle.
For example: if you are clocking at 30 degrees, and the gun displays 129.9 mph. Take 129.9 and
divide by the cosine of 30 degrees (0.866) to get a true speed of 150.0 mph.

S Sport2 Owner’s Manual
INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS
Interference Frequencies
The S Sport2 radar transmits in the range of 24.15 GHz (24,150,000,000 Hz), using a
new K-band ACI design. The receiver is designed to read the Doppler frequency (the change in
frequency) in the range of 360 - 18,000 Hz. There are very few devices other than another radar
gun that could cause interference in a radar gun’s transmission frequency range. However, there
are a number of devices that could interfere with a radar gun in the receiver’s frequency range.
What Does Interference Do?
Interference can cause a radar gun to read random readings, or make it harder for the radar gun
to “see” the intended target.
Random readings are an obvious sign that there is interference. However, a loss of sensitivity can
be subtle. A common situation occurs when a large number of professional baseball scouts
operate many radar guns in close proximity.
A loss of sensitivity can cause the radar gun to be unable to “see” far enough away to get the ball
speed right when it leaves the pitchers hand. Then, as the ball gets closer to the plate, the radar
is able to get a reading, but only after the ball has slowed down. The result: the peak speed
registers lower than it actually is.
Sources of Interference
There are two main sources that can cause ghost (random) readings in radar guns: electrical
devices and objects that move or vibrate.
Electrical sources include television monitors, fluorescent lights, cellular phones, computers,
some radio transmitters, and power transformers. Moving or vibrating objects include
ventilation fans, motors, and blowing debris that can produce a nearly constant speed reading.
How to Eliminate Interference
If you are experiencing erroneous readings, try these solutions:
1. Change your position to change where the gun is aimed.
2. Lower the sensitivity by changing the Range on the Operator Menu to 1 (low setting).
3. Change the Option Menu Low Speed setting to a setting with a higher low speed cutoff if
the readings are at low speeds (often interference from nearby motors).
