They're trying to figure out how to resolve the problem of their signal overpowering garage door remotes???
I got the solution....
STOP USING THEIR FREQUENCIES!!!
Good Lord, is it that hard to figure out???
A secretive U.S. air force facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., tested a radio frequency this past week that it would use to communicate with first responders in the event of a homeland security threat.
But the frequency also controls an estimated 50 million garage door openers, and hundreds of residents in the surrounding area found their garage doors had suddenly stopped working.
"It would have been nice not to have to get out of the car and open the door manually," said Dewey Rinehard, pointing out that the outage happened during the first cold snap of the year when temperatures fell well below freezing.
Capt. Tracy Giles of the 21st Space Wing said air force officials were trying to figure out how to resolve the problem of their signal overpowering garage door remotes.
"They (military officials) have turned it off to be good neighbours," he said.
