The LNA200 uses a power inserter, but the LNA100 does not use a power inserter. The USB power for the LNA100 goes directly into a connector on the amp housing.

Some UVSJs pass power on the UHF side and some pass power on the VHF side. The Radio Shack and Antennas Direct UVSJs pass power on the UHF side. My guess is that the ASKA only passes power on the VHF side.
The location of the power inserter for the PA18 is critical. It might be necessary to use the ASKA UVSJ after the power inserter for the PA18.

If it helps, the one on the DB 8E is an Antennas Direct Pa 18 preamp and the CM is a Winegard LNA 100

A power inserter is a device that allows you to put the preamp close to the antenna and the power supply inside out of the weather. The coax that carries the signal down from the preamp also carries the DC power up to the preamp.
