The Moonraker SQBM200P MKII is a vertical collinear base antenna designed for operation on the 2 metre and 70 centimetre amateur radio bands.

It features a fibreglass construction, is factory pre-tuned and is designed for outdoor installation. Mast mounting brackets are included.

The MKII version also provides wideband reception from 25 to 2000 MHz, making it useful with scanners and wideband receivers as well as conventional VHF/UHF transceivers. 

With an overall length of 1.55 m, specified gain of 4.5 dBd on 2 m and 7.5 dBd on 70 cm, the SQBM200P MKII is suitable for fixed VHF/UHF stations requiring higher gain than a basic quarter-wave or half-wave vertical antenna. Maximum rated power is 200 W, with an SO-239 coaxial connection.
