Stalker Sport 2
The Sport 2 was Stalker's previous entry handheld. It is not sold new on stalkersport.com. The current replacement is the Sport 3 Connect at $799.99 (radar only; confirmed Nov 11, 2026 on stalkersport.com). There is no current official new price for a Sport 2.
What the operator manual lists. The Stalker Sport 2 Operator Manual (011-0090-00 Rev N, 2019), still published on stalkerradar.com (checked Nov 11, 2026), lists a speed range of 5-150 mph, accuracy of 3% of reading, and a maximum clocking distance of 300 feet with an unobstructed view. The gun can show peak (release) speed and last (over-the-plate) speed together. The RECALL button redisplays the last five speeds; that memory clears when you power the gun off. It is a K-band unit. Default baseball settings in the manual include a 30 mph low-speed threshold and Peak on.
Stalker now states the Sport 3 Connect accuracy as ±3% of reading, the same form of spec.
Accessories Stalker still sells for it (prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on stalkersport.com):
- Wall Charger for Sport 2: $68.00. The product page says it is compatible with the Sport 2 only, and that it plugs into the charging port on the side of the radar.
- LED Sign Cable for Sport 2: $82.50. On Stalker's LED sign compatibility chart, the Sport 2 is wired-only. Wireless signs are listed for Sport 3 Connect, Pro 3, Pro 3s, Pro IIs and Pro II+, not for the Sport 2.
What to check on a used unit, in addition to the general checklist below:
- Confirm the label says Sport 2, not Sport 3 Connect.
- Ask for a video of it reading a pitch or a tuning fork, with the number visible.
- Battery and charger. The manual says the Starter package shipped with non-rechargeable alkaline AA batteries that must not be recharged in the gun, and that Scout and Deluxe packages shipped with Ni-MH batteries and a wall charger. If the seller cannot show a charger or a charge that holds, price in the $68.00 official Sport 2 wall charger (only useful if the unit is set up for rechargeable cells).
- What's in the box: holster, charger, cables, and whether a sign cable is included. A replacement official sign cable is $82.50.
- If you want a wireless LED sign, this is not the gun; look at a Sport 3 Connect instead.

Checklist before you buy
- Model and serial number. Look up the model's real specs on our pages or in the maker's manual.
- A video of it working. It should read a ball or a tuning fork, with the number visible.
- Battery and charger. Rechargeable handles on older Stalkers wear out. Price in a replacement if the seller can't show it holding a charge.
- What's in the box. Holster, charger, cables, tuning fork, sign cable.
- Sports model, not traffic. Traffic radars aren't made for balls.
- Seller ratings and returns. Buy where you're covered if it arrives dead.
- Compare with new. A used Smart Coach isn't a deal if it's $40 off a new one with a warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

FAQ
Is it safe to buy a used radar gun?
Usually, if you can see it work. Ask for a video of the gun reading a pitch or a tuning fork, check the battery and charger, and buy where you have buyer protection, like eBay's Money Back Guarantee.
How much should a used Stalker cost?
Used prices change daily, so we don't quote them. Search the model on eBay and filter by sold listings to see what guns actually sold for recently.
Can I use a police radar gun for baseball?
It's risky. Police and traffic radars are built for cars, and some makers say outright that their traffic models aren't for ball sports. Pocket Radar says this about its Classic/Traffic model, for example. Stick to sports models.
Do radar guns need calibration?
Check with a tuning fork made for that gun's band. Pocket Radar sells a 65 mph tuning fork for $39.99. If a used gun reads the fork correctly, the radar is likely fine.
