Abstract
An angularly adjustable antenna mounting assembly for mounting a mobile antenna to the exterior surface of a motor vehicle includes a semi-hemispherical mounting shell. The antenna base is secured to the exterior surface of the shell by a pin member which extends through the shell and is retained therein by a retaining plate biased against the interior surface of the shell. The antenna is connected to the other end of the pin member by a quick-release bayonet connection which also serves to establish electrical connection to the antenna. The mounting angle of the antenna is adjusted by adjusting the location of the bridging plate within the shell.
