When using a 3rd order max rE decoder with 1st order input, the gain on the first order signals is too high. The error is around 2.3 dB for a 2D decoder, and 3.5 dB for 3D. In both cases the resulting decode is closer to systematic (rV = 1) than to max rE. For an in-phase decoder the errors are higher, around 5 dB for 3D.
