[Scan-DC] Fort Detrick Radio System Jams Remote Garage Doors

[Quinn Michael]

A guy who just moved into our office came from a job working navy
installation base comms - he said they have been getting clobbered with
phone and written complaints and congressional inquiries at bases where
they've cut over to LMR.  I guess it's going to get worse before it gets
better.

Several strong control channels are being heard now which are new since
last week. PRO-96 can receive and decode them directly.

Fort Detrick Radio System Jams Remote Garage Doors

Updated: Sunday, Feb. 27, 2005 - 2:47 PM

FREDERICK, Md. - A new radio system at Fort Detrick will improve
communication with the Pentagon. The downside: some people may have to
open their garage doors the old-fashioned way.

The Land Mobile Radio system will allow Fort Detrick and 10 other Army
installations in the Washington region to communicate with the Pentagon
and civilian emergency personnel by hand-held radios.

In a suburban sacrifice to emergency preparedness, Frederick residents
could experience a rash of dead door openers in coming days, as the
Army's Fort Detrick begins using a new radio system linking local and
federal government emergency personnel.
