Nov 27, 2022 at 21:06 comment added Dilip Sarwate There is no dBm level at which the BER is $0$. At large SNR, the BER can be very small, but it never can be $0$. The presence or absence of DSSS makes no difference to this fact. The theoretical BER for a given $E_b/N_0$ ratio is the same whether you are using plain BPSK or BPSK with DSSS modulation. What DSSS changes is the bandwidth of the transmitted signal, and hence lowers the carrier-to-noise ratio. See also this answer.

Nov 27, 2022 at 16:29 comment added Dilip Sarwate The answer to the first question is "The same". For the second question, you need to tell us what you understand by the sensitivity level of the receiver.
