Three of the SAME THING. Garage door openers using a set of frequencies the
vendors KNEW were usable by the military and likely subject to interference.

If anything the people stuck with these openers should be bitching to the
vendor of their garage door opener, not the military.  But no, it's just
more fashionable to bash the military.

Find a situation where an actual RadioRA setup has suffered from outside
interference.  Lutron's gone out of their way to make that an extremely
unlikely situation.

Which would be rather impossible for a garage door opener IN your car.
Sure, the usual wall-mounted controls are certainly not going to suffer the
interference.
