The 50 ohm terminators were fairly inexpensive but now , if I have to add DC blockers, the price seems to jump up considerably!

use DC blocks before terms... or they will burn out.

I probably would have never considered that.  The RF riding on a DC component.  Common to all?  Or some do and some don't?

It's mostly a Sennheiser thing. Sennheiser's EW G3 and G4 RXs can be powered by a 12V DC bias voltage supplied on their antenna inputs (similar to how active antennas are powered, but in reverse) and a couple of their antenna distros (specifically the ASA 1 and the ASA 214) supply this voltage on the outputs (just the A outputs I believe). Most antenna distros don't do this (including other Sennheiser ones) and so shouldn't require DC blocking.
