Thanks for the great explanation, Howard.
Knowing that the noise bridge tuner aid has an on-off switch helps.
I appreciate the info, and likely will order one of the noise bridges once I
get back to the home qth in a week and a half.

Tom,
You would install the tuner aid between your transceiver and your amp =
where=20
the power is low. Switch off your amp or set its controls so that your=20
transceiver is connected to your tuner and antenna, adjust your tuner =
for=20
the null in noise which is the lowest SWR. Now you can turn on your amp =
and=20
enjoy. The tuner aid will never see the amps high power. All you will =
need=20
is an additional short coax jumper to install the tuner aid. Before =
using=20
your amp you can test the SWR with the TW1 or the SWR meter on your 590 =
to=20
insure it is within reasonable limits.
Remember, you should turn off the tuner aid before transmitting even =
though=20
it has a protection circuit in case you forget. I wouldn't rely on this =
circuit in place of turning it off consistently.
