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.
Yep -- and you can thank ANOTHER scumbag lawyer for trashing our military and destroying more of our power to defend this country.
What's next for these anti-American whores? Sue the military for killing the enemy? Oh! I forgot, they already are!
If this radio is required for national defense, then change the law, and change the frequency on garage door openners.
Why on earth should the military yield to frequency interlopers?

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.
Which law is that? I think you may have that backwards. I believe the military has primary access to the frequency while the garage door openers operate under a section of the Communications Act that gives them secondary rights (i.e., they can use the frequency as long as they dont cause interference to the primary user).
That said, it is dumb after not using the frequency for such a long period to suddenly piss off such a large number of citizens. There are millions of other frequencies. I wonder what makes this one so necssary?
