Curiosity question only.
My GDO remote works best when I'm about 110 feet from the opener. Second best when I'm about 25 feet. At about 50 to 60 feet the door just doesn't want to respond to the remote. My remote is mounted at the sunroof, close to metal structure of the truck. You RADIO guys are probably best equipped to answer this question.
Like I said, I'm not having any problems and I'm not trying to fix anything. Just curios as all get-go as to why the remote and GDO act this way. The driveway is 100 feet long and 18 feet wide (hell when it snows). One house (mine) is up against one side and there's a parkway about 8 feet wide from the other side of the driveway to the neighbors house. I have a metal roof. I'm sure there's some environmental questions and possible reasons why this phenomena occurs, but it seems like when I'm midway to the house the GDO doesn't respond to the remote. My wife's car has that Toyota built in GDO system, don't remember what it's called. She doesn't have the same problem. Only, she can't open the GD from the street like I can. Just plain weird.
