As part of the U.S. Department of Defense's new state of the art communication system, the military has taken over the unlicensed frequencies which are mostly used by garage door remote openers, cordless phones, and even baby monitors. Quoting: Garage Doors Wireless/Cordless Home phones Baby Monitors What other average household items do we have that see every day use in our homes that operate on wireless frequencies similar to these devices? Millions of cordless phones operate on the same frequency as the average home wireless network.. So your routers, computers, and laptops!!! Can they seize control of those through the wireless frequency now too!!!?? |

Yes, because opening a garage door manually is impossible to most of you worthless tards.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3505427 It is when its attached to an electric garage door opener... In most such cases the home owner will have to leave their car outside, go into the house via the front door, and into the garage from inside the house, and then first manually disengage the electric garage door opener, and then go and open the door... Plus, if there are any problems with the springs on that garage door... then FORGET trying to open it manually period, you'll just end up breaking your back trying that! |

The receivers on garage door openers are not much. Also, I don't see how the military is going to keep it from working anyway. If the remote unit and the garage opener unit match up, it is going to open. The military can't do anything about that unless they come and take your opener away from you. Bullshit story. The military has had this problem before. Some ham radio operators in certain areas of the nation are not able to use parts of the 440 band because of Pave Paws radar systems. They work around it and the military hasn't stopped the sale or use of 440MHz radios everywhere else. |

[link to www.cnn.com] it may not be keeping track of your phone calls, but one government agency may be keeping your garage door shut. A recent radio communications update at the U.S. Army's Fort Gordon near Augusta, Georgia, reportedly is causing hundreds of nearby residents to have difficulty accessing their garages. |

The military has forcibly BLOCKED the frequency by broadcasting on it an overpowering signal that now blocks out all weaker signals from devices like Garage Door Openers. The article clearly states that Homeowners will now have to either go buy a new Garage Door Opener.... or install some sort of outside/exterior Amplifier device that is strong enough to break through the over powering Military signal!! |

A simple tuning tool and you can change the frequency from 230.1 to 350 MHz yourself ... first tune the receiver off band , then tune the transmiter until it opens at the longest distance , most systems can be hacked off band easy ... |

The key is NEARBY homeowners. RF can only go so far and do so much. You think they are going to go HAARP style and send out gigawatts of RF (and face lawsuits for exposure limit breaches) just to fuck with people trying to get the SUV into the mcmansion garage? |

Looks like it has been going on for a while. Military has been using those frequencies since WWII, so it's more likely garage door manufacturers who are at fault. Garage door openers operate on "unlicensed basis" within the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations on radio frequencies, known as FCC Part 15 rules. Because garage door openers operate as FCC Part 15 unlicensed devices, they must accept any interference that may occur from the authorized users of radio frequencies. Some manufacturers of garage door openers, deeming that their risks of interference are generally low, have chosen to operate on frequencies between 380 MHz and 399.9 MHz that have been reserved for the US government and military services since World War II. DoD and the US military are fully authorized to use these frequencies, particularly for LMR systems that are necessary for force protection, law enforcement, firefighting, transportation management, and emergency medical first responders on military bases and installations. Consequently, some consumers located near military bases may occasionally experience radio frequency interference to their garage door openers which can temporarily reduce the operating range of the wireless controls or cause the wireless control to stop functioning. This interference will not cause the garage doors to open or close by themselves, but rather they will temporarily simply not operate wirelessly. However, the installed hard-wired controls inside or outside of the garages will not be affected whatsoever by radio frequency interference, and will continue to electrically open and close the doors normally. According to FCC Public Notice DA 05-424 of February 15, 2005, the garage door opener manufacturers stand ready to help consumers resolve any interference to their systems, including, in some cases, making available for consumer purchase, a replacement transmitter and receiver to operate on a different frequency than that used by US government or military services and mobile radio systems. Consumers who experience problems with the garage door openers should contact their manufacturer or local repair shops for assistance." |

Yes, they have been experimenting over the last few years on both coasts, mostly the Navy playing with their new technology. There have been periodic articles of car alarms and garage doors being affected in entire neighborhoods on the coasts. Connecticut was the last I heard and the Navy said it may be their fault.
