I'm sorry. There's no way in hell I could even begin to assist here. I just think it's funny as hell and wanted to post.

Can I ask a question? What was the look on your fact like when you first figured it out?

Also, does it work both ways?

I had no idea it was happening. I got a note from the wife that one neighbor complained to another neighbor about it. As if it is only my problem to solve.

I have not asked them if their opener does the same thing.

The weird part is that it is inconsistent. I have been really sensitive to watch and make sure I don't leave there door up so I look every time.

I did not want to have to reprogram mine so I kept thinking when it was ok for a couple days that it was just a fluke. But then finally got fed up and reset the codes today and it worked once without affecting theirs and then the next time theirs opened.

With these controls that are roaming I have no idea why this is happening.

You need to reprogram the opener to your door, just start from scratch. This is not supposed to happen, if all else fails, I'd get on Sears for a solution.

I did reset the codes

Unless I did that wrong somehow. But I doubt it as the lights did what they were supposed to and the remotes did not work until I synced them.

careful men or this will end up in CD

I remember when I was a kid in my teens driving around and just pushing the garage door opener button for every house, you'd be amazed at how many doors we opened!

Back in the mid 60's we had a tv that would once in a while turn on the neighbors garage door. And it was a long distance also.

I have tried the opener at different spots down the road. I also have fair luck if I close my door when part of the car is still inside the garage as I am backing up.

For now I will just make sure I don't open his door and wait till I see him and tell him I tried.

Ham radio operators are worse than born again christians. My best friend toyed with them in high school and then suddenly in his 40s got hooked again. Put up a 40' tower on property in northern MI on one of the higher pieces of land. It was so high and such a sturdy tower he was offered to rent it to the cell phone companies. Went on a trip to Tenn back 15 years ago and he spent the entire trip on his mobile rig that he put in my car. One fishing trip up in Canada he brought the mobile rig.

Yeah these people need to get a life.

Now that will be the end of such talk on this thread.

Thank you

 

[wacor]

he does bring up a valid point.

You obviously have never been stuck in a car driving over 6 hours with an obsessed ham operator

Besides I can multi task quite well.

And work is just this stinking slow

 

[wacor]

sorry about the layoff V

that stinks

and yes obsessed to put it mildly. When he was on the fishing trip he made my buddy go to short at a particular time so he could fire up the radio to communicate with somebody back home.

hearing dit, dit, dot, dot for hours on the road makes my blood curdle

he is the obsessed type that has to also prove he is still up to speed on the morris code.

oye

Back on topic you dipsticks.

I finally got a chance to talk to the neighbor.

I start out by asking if he reset the codes on his? Nope

Then I asked how old his was? 6 months (mine is a year old)

So how long has this been acting up? 6 months



Oye............. Yeah this has been going on ever since he installed his new opener.

They are not the same make either. How in the heck with roving codes this could happen is beyond me.

And his opener does not effect my door

 

[wacor]

He said he took a look to changing the code and it does not have the switches.

And yes this is totally baffling. His has to be relatively new technology though because one of his cars he can not reprogram but the other one he can. Same with my 2001 Durango which will not program to my opener. Even the 5 year old keypad entry I had to replace on mine. The old one was not compatible.

when I was a kid my favorite club was a hickory stick 7 iron.

Best driver I had was a $30 metal one back 15 years ago. That head is so tiny I would have trouble hitting it now a days.

 

[wacor]

I doubt you can answer this but - do you know what he meant by saying; "it does not have the switches"? What switches?

Is he talking about DIP switches, like was used to program old garage door openers? Or is he referring to push buttons when he says switches? All the newer garage door openers use a "Learn" button on the opener for programming remotes very easily to the unit.

Yes the DIP switches I was referring to. His has the learn button.

best 'driver' you ever had is the one betwixt thine ears, me bill old boy. There's an adage in golf; 'you can put draw on it, and you can put fade on it, put you can't put straight on it.'. That adage, incidentally, I have proven incorrect with just a dab of vaseline and complete and utter disregard for the PGA rulebook.

Gimme a jar of brylcream and I'll paste one 320 down the pipes for ya, every time.

but as far as the sticks go? Ever heard of Moe Norman?

One of two dudes to own his swing.

the other being my idol, hogan............

Back then I practiced quite a bit. I hit one drive 300 yards. Averaged over 240 yds with a lot over 250 yds.

Not bad for somebody well over a foot shorter than the stork eh

When I was 12 years old I had a 12 handicap. If I could have learned how to putt back then I would have been around a 6 hdcp. I had many a round shooting in the low 80's with over 36 putts.

I admired Hogan too but Arnie was my guy. Bobby had the sweetest swing of em all though. Hands down the best golfer of all time IMO

 

[wacor]

dang..........36 putts? any day I walk off with more than 30 is a bad day for me.......and I've got a 1982 K-Mart special putter in my bag..........that and a bamboo shafted 1923 MacGregor 10 iron.......again, I tend to play more with the heads of the competitors than I do with the course itself........

I literally could not make a putt over 3' in length. I had one round where I was 3 over par and was on every green in regulation. (9 hole round) I still am terrible at long putts. I am pretty deadly from 5 foot in and make a lot of 10-15 footers though. I am all feel and I cut my putts. Drives people nuts trying to read my putts
