Abstract
A mounting adaptor for mounting a mobile antenna to an external frame member such as the support arm of a side view mirror or the frame of a carrier rack, or to the rain gutter of a motor vehicle roof, includes a housing from which an adjustable band clamp extends. When the adapter is mounted on an external frame member the band clamp is attached at its free end to the housing and drawn tight around the frame member. When the adapter is mounted on a rain gutter an integral mounting shoe projecting from the housing is seated under the gutter and the adaptor housing is drawn toward the gutter by the band clamp so as to secure the mounting shoe in position.
