Abstract
The mount allows an antenna to be fitted to an inaccessible side of a panel from an accessible side, through a knockout. An antenna and cable are first fitted to the mount. The mount has clips that can be squeezed inwards so that it can be inserted into the knockout, and then released so that they retain the mount from the far side of the panel. Stops on the mount prevent it from being inserted too far. The tabs may be squeezed with finger pressure only so that the mount can be fitted in restricted locations where access is difficult, such as in an electrical breaker box. The mount can easily be removed by squeezing the tabs.
