1. An antenna mount assembly, the assembly comprising:
an antenna module configured for mounting an antenna having a center through-hole, the antenna module including a pole top mount plate and a central spine coupled to the pole top mount plate and extending upwardly therefrom; and
a removable adapter configured to be secured to an upper end of the central spine, the removable adapter comprising:
a first clamp member including a first partial tubular section and a top plate that extends radially outwardly from the first partial tubular section, the top plate including a plurality of mounting holes;
a second clamp member including a second partial tubular section and a flange, wherein the flange is configured to be secured to the top plate by a fastener; and
a locking mechanism configured to draw the first and second clamp members together to secure the clamp members to the central spine of the antenna module;
wherein the locking mechanism comprises:
a first ramp member extending downwardly from the top plate of the first clamp member; and
a second ramp member coupled to the second clamp member and configured to mate with the first ramp member,
wherein the second ramp member is configured to slide against the first ramp member as the fastener is tightened such that the first and second partial tubular sections move toward each other to engage central spine and secure the removable adapter to the antenna module,
a first ramp member extending downwardly from the top plate of the first clamp member; and
a second ramp member coupled to the second clamp member and configured to mate with the first ramp member,
wherein the second ramp member is configured to slide against the first ramp member as the fastener is tightened such that the first and second partial tubular sections move toward each other to engage central spine and secure the removable adapter to the antenna module.
