ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary antenna assembly suitable for use on most vehicles includes a magnetic base unit that can be magnetically mounted upon any appropriate surface of the vehicle. An antenna support platform is connected to the base unit by a hinge. The support platform is made at least partially from a ferromagnetic material so that it will form a magnetic bond against the base unit. The amount of ferromagnetic material in the support platform is such that the bond between the base unit and the vehicle is significantly stronger than the bond between the base unit and the support platform. The support platform can rotate about the hinge when the bond between the base unit and the support platform is broken. The support platform also includes a means for connecting an antenna thereto and a coaxial cable connection from the attached antenna to an item of radio equipment carried by the vehicle. The hinge between the base unit and the support platform allows the antenna to yield to obstructions without dislodging the complete antenna assembly from the vehicle.
