   As you are a licensed user of the frequency, you have priority over the   
   unlicensed, unprotected short range devices used for these purposes. Of   
   course people who are not aware of this still get annoyed when their key   
   fobs don't get received by the nasty super-regen receivers in their car.   
   They should direct their annoyance at the PTTs who decided the 433MHz ISM   
   allocation should go ahead in the mid 1980s.
