"The military will lose and will be forced to shut down these transmitters if the effect is as described. The law on frequency allocation pretty much says the military must yield if there is a conflict unless there is no other military option. Yeah, I read the part about these garage door openers operating in a military band and I still believe the miliary will lose this one."

Actually, probably not. depends on who is the primary licensee, and the article implies it's the military. All other users are considered "secondary" and have no recourse when interference occurs.

As I said, I realize that it is a military band. But, politics and not law usually determines the winners in cases like this. It simply isn't good politics for the military to inconvienience a bunch of civilians. Bad for budgets. Unless there is a compelling reason which I doubt, the military will yield. Too bad, but the frequency management folks should have seen this coming and selected another band.
