Good evening Elecrafters, may your Monday be a restfull one! I would like to send a low voltage limited current up the coax from my K2 to the antenna for powering a small device. What would be the best way to inject this voltage into the antenna feed (coax) at the K2 and recovering it up the

You need as a minimum a capacitor in the coax center lead to your K2 in order to prevent DC from getting into the radio. Second you will need a choke on your low voltage supply at a value that presents a large impedance to RF frequencies you are operating on and therefore blocking RF from
