Hi Anthony,
A noise bridge is a device you install like a SWR meter. The difference
is that it produces a tone in the receiver of your radio when ever there is
a mismatch between your radio and your antenna system. So, it is very
helpful for tuning antennas and using antenna tuners.
I hope this helps.
God bless,
Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
