Can the Betso bowtie handle antenna power?

Hi, I have a Lectro Venue and it's complicated to turn on and off the antenna power (12v) on it, it needs a disassemble. I know the passive SNA600a can handle that, but tomorrow I need to use the Bowtie passive antenna, and I didn't find information if that has the protection or not. Waiting from a reply from Betso, but not sure it comes in that short time. Mostly I use my Sharkies that's why I don't really want to change things. Thanks

Hey Larry, just curious… even when using a passive antenna that has DC protection such as the SNA600a is there any effect on RF performance or other possible side effects from having antenna power turned on?

 

 Years ago I was using a Sennheiser quadbox (for ek3041) and I remember getting lots of spray and interference when using two coax whip antennas. The Sennheiser box always had  12V on the antenna inputs.

No degredation with the Lectro bias supply. You can have antenna power on or off, no diff.
