FWIW, it would help if hdjeff were to use the proper exponential notation relating to BER calculations.

BER is properly denoted by scientific notation that consists of 1 x 10^-x where x is an integer that typically ranges from 1 to 12. A "good" BER is usually LESS that 1 x 10^-6. Keep in mind that the better the signal quality is, the greater is the ABSOLUTE VALUE of the exponent. That is, a BER of 1x10^-9 is 1,000 times better than 1x10^-6 which is 100 times better than 1x10^-4, etc.
