  Tom,

  A noise bridge will null as you approach a 1:1 Swr.  It doesn't require you 
  to transmit a signal at all.

  The Atom is just a device which reads Max output from the Xmitter.  It 
  requires you to transmit and you basically tune for maximum output, or 
  smoke.

  The old Conway tuning aid was a voltage-controlled oscillator you could hook 
  across any meter to read its output.

  Steve, K8SP

     Butch or anyone:

  I know this will be elementary for some, but can someone give me a little
  tutorial on the difference between a tuning aid like Adam, and a noise
  bridge?

  I have never used a noise bridge, like the Victronics or MFJ, and wonder how
  they work in comparison to a tuning aid like the Adam or the one Handihams
  used to sell.

  Just a little lacking in knowledge here.
