Even from my own driveway it was often hard to open it.  I had installed a couple of 11w LED bulbs in the main motor unit.  I had no concern, since I have 35 Cree LED floods in my house that do not create noise beyond a few inches.  This was different.  Those bulbs generated noise in the 300Mhz spectrum that interfered with the reception from the remote.  Replacing them with 23w CFL lights solved the problem. Beware of LED lights in a garage door opener!!!
