Abstract: We provide some characterizations of precompact abelian groups $G$ whose dual group $G_p^{w}edge$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology on elements of $G$ contains a nontrivial convergent sequence. In the special case of precompact abelian emph{torsion} groups $G$, we characterize the existence of a nontrivial convergent sequence in $G_p^{w}edge$ by the following property of $G$: emph{No infinite quotient group of $G$ is countable.} Finally, we present an example of a dense subgroup $G$ of the compact metrizable group $mathbbZ(2{)}^{o}mega$ such that $G$ is of the first category in itself, has measure zero, but the dual group $G_p^{w}edge$ does not contain infinite compact subsets. This complements Theorem 1.6 in [J.E.~Hart and K.~Kunen, Limits in function spaces and compact groups, extit{Topol. Appl.} extbf{151} (2005), 157--168]. As a consequence, we obtain an example of a precompact reflexive abelian group which is of the first Baire category.
