ABSTRACT:
A mobile antenna adapted to be mounted to a motor vehicle includes a vertical radiating element, an antenna base from which the radiating element extends, and a cylindrical mounting pin for mounting the base to a body panel of the vehicle. The mounting pin establishes at one end a first quick-release bayonet-type connection to the antenna base, and a second quick-release bayonet-type connection to a skirt member positioned between the base and the body panel. The base includes a socket for receiving the pin, and a contact member within the socket which engages tabs contained on a first electrically conductive end cap molded into the pin housing to mechanically and electrically connect the pin to the base. The other end of the pin includes a second electrically-conductive end cap which receives a coaxial cable and establishes an electrical connection between the shield of the cable and the inside surface of the body panel. In use the pin draws the skirt tight against the exterior surface of the body panel so as to allow the antenna base to be removed when not in use.
