Hi The normal TBolt supplies 5V to the antenna. There *are* some 3.3V only antennas out there. You could blow one up with a TBolt. There are also survey oriented receivers (and antennas) that work at 12V. Most 5V (but not all) antennas will fry if hooked to a 12V receiver.
Current wise, you probably are ok with any antenna out there. If you start cascading things like inline amplifiers, you can get past the current available. That generally is not a fatal error. The receiver simply yells at you about “antenna short” or something like that.
