Air Force base's radios jamming automatic garage door openers

Last update: 19 May 2004

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE -- A new military two-way radio system is keeping garage doors shut in communities near this Florida Panhandle base and residents may have to change the frequencies on their remote-controlled opening devices to make them work.

Homeowners in Niceville, Valparaiso and the Crestview area reported jammed garage door openers during recent testing of the new $5.5 million system at Eglin.

Air Force officials Tuesday said the contractor, Motorola Inc., will try to minimize the problem but they offered no guarantees.

That one is easy. Everyone having this problem just needs to drive around town with there finger on the button of there garage door openers. The military will probably decide it would be a good idea not to use Garage door frequencys for their communications...LOL
