I just wish some genius could make a Garage Door Opener antenna that actually worked so I don’t have to pull the nose of my car right up next to the door.
Hmm, I’ve never had that problem and I’ve probably lived in a dozen different places in my lifetime with automatic garage doors. In my current house, I can open the garage door from anything less than about half a block away, although I do notice it’s highly sensitive to how fresh the batteries are in my opener. When I have to get as close as my next-door neighbor’s house, I’ll usually swap out the batteries for new ones. Other than that, it’d be interesting to know which make and model you have (so none of us Freepers ever make the mistake of buying one!).
