Navy radio might be crippling Conn. garage doors
The U.S. Navy says a military new radio system may be
keeping some people in southeastern Connecticut from opening and closing their
garage doors.
Chris Zendan, a spokesman for submarine base in Groton,
tells the Day of New London that the Enterprise Land Mobile Radio system can
interfere with garage-door openers.
Overhead Door Co. of Norwich Inc. tells the newspaper
it's been receiving complaints from several towns near the base, and has found
no problem with its equipment.
Zendan says because of homeland security issues, the
military has needed to use more radio frequencies, including some also utilized
by the door openers.
He says the communication system, put in place last
summer, is being used at many U.S. military installations to connect with
civilian first responders.
