(When I first got my Duron 1.2 I ran it with both side panels removed, and I couldn't work out why my new mobile phone wasn't working properly... ;) )
Most garage door openers are at 433Mhz the lowest of
the ISM bands.

When did this start? Around christmas ...try finding
the neighbourhood kid that is running a cheap Radio
Shack RC car around your house and buy him a GOOD
one to play with.

I had a similar problem with my on going project of
a 903Mhz industrial intercom system. Last week I was
completely over powered by 4 teenage girls having
a phone converstation. So out the door with the wife
and couple of handhelds for a triangulation. The family
was foriegn and they had brought a cordless phone
back on their last visit to the homeland. A phone that
wasn't compliant with title 47 part 15 (this sucker was
putting out 4W when it should have been 100mW).
I bought them a nice new 2.4Ghz phone, took their
non-compliant away from them, stripped it and put
the kick ass linear amp into my intercom basestation.
