[AMRadio] Johnson Desktop vs Thunderbolt - basically same thing?

[Chris]

Not even close.  Two completely different items.  One is a Linear Amp only,  the other contains Two 4-400A tubes in Class C  with two push-pull 810s in Class B as a Modulator.  This
makes the "Desk" a High Level AM Plate Modulated Transmitter needing only an Exciter.  It will run AB2  for 2kW PEP for SSB and Class C 1kW CW.    The only thing in common are the
4-400As.  73 Chris VE3NGW/W4 Florida
