Agreed, But assuming the hw model could be disabled by a little switch you won't need any software change at all and retain bias ability for rx only applications. If using software is that easy, then there should be no problem to activate bias and tx function at the same time. I guess that not

It is a bit more complicated Giuseppe than that. You see there are systems which have active antennas (powered) for receiving. In such a system you can use the antenna bias to provide power to the active antenna elements (typically a filter bank and an LNA). Those are typically receive only
