Claim:
1. A swivel mount apparatus for coupling an antenna to a vehicle, the swivel mount apparatus comprising: a first member configured to couple to a mounting interface on the vehicle; a second member rotatably coupled to the first member; a mounting post affixed to the first member and extending upwardly relative to the first member wherein the mounting post receives the second member and causes the second member to be rotatably coupled to the first member, the mounting post defining an azimuth pivot axis extending perpendicular to the first member; the antenna including an antenna post and antenna blades supported by the antenna post for pivoting movement about an elevational pivot axis extending perpendicular to the azimuth pivot axis; and a coupler coupling the antenna post to the second member; wherein the second member includes a first receiving wall and a second receiving wall; and a receiving space is defined by the first receiving wall and the second receiving wall, the antenna post is received within the receiving space, wherein the first receiving wall and the second receiving wall are configured to prevent rotation of the antenna post about an axis extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the antenna post and parallel to the first receiving wall and the second receiving wall, and are configured to prevent translational movement in a direction perpendicular to the first receiving wall and the second receiving wall.
