The last
thing someone would expect to interfere with their garage door is the
Navy. Apparently this is what is going
on in Hawaii where Rimpac is taking place.
Rimpac stands for Rim of the pacific exercise. It is a training drill which takes place
every year or so. The training exercise is
one of the biggest events taking around 5 weeks and including as many as 2
dozen countries.
Rimpac
which started last Thursday and will last a few weeks are linked to the disruption
that residence have encountered with their garage doors. Officials have warned that remotely operated
garage door openers may not work due to the radio frequency which are
used. Although not as big of a problem
as past years people may still encounter some problems. The fact that the radio frequencies used by
the Navy are top secret makes it difficult for garage door manufacturers to build
a remote control that does not interfere with the Navy’s frequency.
Homeowners
have been encouraged to check with their garage door company to ensure that
their garage door openers work properly.
If problems are encountered it is recommended that passengers get out of
their car and use their remote control directly in front of the garage
door. People will not encounter problems
from within their homes just from outside.
It has been recommended that people have another access point available
in case they encounter these issues.
Although
this might be a nuisance to some this does not seem to be a common occurrence. When purchasing an over head garage door
