This ^^^^ is bad, you have something wrong with your feeds. They're probably 
over amp'd and your leaking RF like crazy.

Go back to basics, put the single unsplit and unamped feed into a single 115 and 
get that working reliably. Then, split (or amp) and try the second 115.

Try to work out what's causing BER to be > 0 and fix that first.

Personally, I wouldn't add the 250/350 back into the system until I had both 
115's running flawlessly with 0 BER and 0 UNC.

Chances are, the 250/350 will work correctly after this - unless the drivers 
really do have a DMA issue. It's too early to say given the BER/UNC issues 
you're seeing though.
