Arrgh! I put 12volts into K3 antenna connector!

ANDY DURBIN
I had some "adventures" with a bias T pair used to power a remote tuner and the drive motor for my mag loop capacitor.  I reduced the risk of future "adventures" by using a current limited power supply set to the minimum current needed for intended function.

If the high current station supply is used it would seem prudent to fuse the bias T feed.
