trol and make sure you’re on the correct channel. Refer to your owners manual for proper use of
your radio.
2. Check your BNC’s for dirt or other debris that could be keeping them from making good contact.
Heavy use can wear out BNC connectors so check the center on the connector.
3. Check your coax cable connection. Be sure you’re connected to the antenna jack on your radio and
the other end of the cable is properly connected to the Walking Stick. Look at the center conductor
to be sure it can make contact and is not worn or broken. If everything looks correct, be sure your
cable is good by trying it on another radio or connecting a known good cable. BNC cables can wear
out. RG-58 A/U cable is recommended.
4. Remember that the station you’re trying to contact may be more powerful than you are. You may be
able to hear them when they can’t hear you at all. Try a different location; higher ground can help.
Precautions:
Don’t transmit more than 10 watts into your Walking Stick.
Don’t lean on your BNC connector.
Don’t use your Walking Stick as a tool for prying, lifting, hammering, etc.
Don’t submerge the antenna.
Don’t use your Walking Stick when lightning is a threat.
Don’t leave the antenna in direct sunlight for long periods.
Don’t use the antenna on any frequencies other than Two Meters.
Don’t drag the Walking Stick by the coax cable.
Don’t use any other than 50 ohm coax.
Don’t use acetone or other solvents to clean the Walking Stick antenna.
And lastly Do replace the dust cap on the BNC connector when not in use.
Your Walking Stick can be cleaned best with soap and water and can be recoated with high tech car
wax, epoxy or polyurethane if needed. (Always clean the antenna before recoating!) Replace the dust
cap as soon as possible if it is lost. With a little maintenance your Walking Stick antenna will provide you
with years of good service.
