UTC Subject: [digitalradio] Testing Digital Codes at Bit Level I would like to test some digital codes at the bit level, rather than the audio level. Does anyone know of a program that will introduce noise by changing bits in a bit stream? Is anyone familiar with any published works

I understand about the use of soft decoders. If the protocol uses a soft decoder and another hard decoder the latter works at the bit level. A standard example is using Reed-Solomon for the hard decoder. Would the bit flipping be representative of the atmospheric effects for the outer hard
