It was not my intent to offer a possible solution that has its' own downside ($$)

I have some of those connectors and I thought I /knew/ where I got them, but when I checked, I could not find them there.

Let me amend my previous email and say, 'if you can find them; get them.'

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.

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
