I also recommend using the 4-hole flange connectors. No more problems
with spinning connectors. I bought from 2 different ebay
sources....try2best2011 and rfbat. I prefer the connectors from
try2best2011. They have a slight champher to the dielectric at the
center conductor. Makes the mating easier. The prices are about the
same, roughly $2.50-2.80 per connector.

4 hole F females ala S0239 are available but pricey (Amphenol, $7.15),
although about 1/40 the price of the punch if it is priced like other
D punches. For receive antenna chokes, xformers, circuits, etc it is
what works for me with plastic boxes.

If there is a China source it would be great to know about it.

Double "D" knockout/chassis punch is the required tool. Don't know
what diameter F connectors are offhand, but the tools are readily
available and come in a variety of sizes. Don't be shocked by the price.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tool for F-connector holes
Does anyone know of a tool that makes a nice hole in Carlon boxes for a
female F-connector with two flats that makes a nice hole so the
connector
doesn't spin?
Tnx
