     It's connected by way of the output pin, so you send the DC supply right 
up the coax instead of having to run additional wires.  You'll need a bias tee 
down at the receiver end, and I describe one at the end of this paper:

     The amplifier itself without the input filter will go down to about 
100-200kHz.  To go lower than that you'll need to increase to capacitor values 
plus change the transformer core material to Fair-Rite 77 or something similar.
