Welcome to the Walking Stick Antenna, the lightweight, durable answer to your outdoor, out-of range transmit/receive problems. While you won�t need the Walking Stick Antenna in all situations it is advisable to keep it on hand for those times when you need improved radio transmission or reception. If you�re using the antenna supplied with your hand-held and your reception is noisy or weak, connect the Walking Stick as follows.
First, remove the antenna from your radio and place it in the storage area provided on the Walking Stick. Simply remove the gray end cap to access the storage section under the handle grip. Then connect your coax patch cord to your radio�s antenna connector where you just removed the radio�s antenna. Next, remove the dust cap from the Walking Stick to expose the BNC connector. Let the dust cap hang from its chain. You can now connect the loose end of the coax cable to the Walking Stick antenna at the BNC connection. With the radio andantenna connected together you�re now ready to transmit and receive with your Walking Stick.
There are two different tips for your Walking Stick: A pointed aluminum tipfor outdoor use and a rubber tip for indoor use. To change tips simply remove the screw on the side of the antenna near the tip, slide the tip out, reverse it and slide it back in place. You�ll note two screw holes at different heights that hold the tip in place. Use the one that fits best. Remember to tighten the screw.
When you�re finished using the Walking Stick remember to replace the dustcap on the BNC connector to prevent damage to the connector and to keep dust and moisture out.
