RX BER
Bit Error Rate (BER) is a calculated figure for the quality of the signal received from
the base. It is an indication of the number of errors detected in the signal received by
the cellular channel, graded into quality ratings according to the percentage of errors
in the data. Typical values for BER are between less than 0.2% and 6.4%.
BER of more than 6.4 will result in calls being disconnected as well as “noisy” calls.
If this occurs, find a better location for the antenna or check the connections to the
antenna.
