Let me see if I got this right....
Military gets interference on one of their tactical frequencies from garage door openers legally manufactured with a shared frequency status from the FCC.
Military retaliates by jamming frequency, rendering it useless for both tactical use and garage door use.
illogical
A look at any spectrum map covering DC to Daylight will reveal that the military does have a few gigahertz of other spectrum available.
Wait until they play the rookie contractor trick and nail a few hundred paint jobs by triggering the doors to come down at the wrong time.
A long time ago, contractors learned why you can't open a new subdivision of stepford homes with garage door openers all on the same frequency.
While effectively jamming all frequencies of garage door openers, it won't take much of a stray RF signal to activate random codes of the openers.
