You may not see a higher BER, because the corrupted signal doesn't hit the BER measuring 
period. Femon asks every 1 second for new values. The UNC counting interval is this 1 
second, but the BER measuring interval is shorter (50..200ms). For a stv0297, it is 150ms 
for QAM256 modulation and 200ms for QAM64. The real measuring interval for the BER is a 
fixed number of bits.
