I'm considering adding a mast-mounted LNA for 2m and I want to deliver 12V to it through the coax. Currently, all of the lightning arrestors in my entrance panel are DC blocking type.

I can see a couple of ways to accomplish this.

- Replace the lightning arrestor for the 2m antenna with a model that passes DC.
*Yes*

- Install a bias tee on the antenna side of the lightning arrestor and run the 12 supply to it through a "control line" type arrestor.
*Absolutely NOT*


Your thoughts?

Thanks.
