Paul,
Thanks for the details regarding the Eb/N0 numbers - I though, perhaps, that
the Eb/N0 was a default value it was much higher than SL Spectrum Display
appeared to support.
The carrier Eb/N0 for the three decodes were 26.1, 24.5 and 22.3 dB
respectively which also closely track with the actual carrier S/Ns for all
three as reported by the decoder and observed in SpecLab.
Tnx agn & 73,
