> How many photons are received per bit transmitted from Voyager 1?
wouldn't you also want to know how many photons are transmitted and how many bits transmitted are received?

Which makes me wonder, whether this way of achieving resilience against changes along the way is necessary. Maybe the data bits can be modulated directly onto analog current, and error resilience can be achieved by remodulating it on the analog level. Then, the emission would have as many bits as there are in the message, error-resilience (modulating, demodulating) would be done strictly using analog electric circuits.
