EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP) — A new military radio system is jamming remote-control garage doors in communities near this Florida Panhandle base.
During testing last week of the $5.5 million two-way radio system at Eglin, homeowners in Niceville, Valparaiso and the Crestview area reported that their garage door openers failed to work.

Air Force officials said Tuesday the contractor, Motorola Inc., will try to minimize the problem. Technicians will run the system at slightly different frequencies from those used by garage door openers when another test is conducted Friday through Monday.
