Hello Richard,
The Bias-T can certainly be enabled in Linux if you write an application to do it using the API. The Bias-T is only functional whilst the RSP is streaming, so the application would need to start the RSP streaming, enable the Bias-T and keep it streaming until the Bias-T was no longer required.
If the bias-T is not enabled – a DC voltage on the antenna port will not cause a problem.
Best regards, Jon
