Ahh, the monthly "chip sales thread." Just curious, what evidence do you base that comment on?

No hurry, since it doesn't make the gate work any faster...

But it DOES make it unnecessary to dig for your pass, and have to open your window in the rain...

Oh, and remember the thread about the woman who dropped her pass and was angry the gate attendant didn't help her find it? How many days did that one go on?

Prepare to pay with Directv. I dropped it because of cost and went with Xfinity. Have had good tv, streaming with Amazon firestick and using Utube TV. All the programming anyone would want, including local channels.

They don't let you go through any faster ... actually, for the most part it's slower. It's all priorities. Some of us like to spend hundreds on kiddie rides and some like to enjoy the "luxury" and convenience of spending $20-$50 to not have to open the window when it rains. Like many things in life it's not a necessity but simply something to do just "because you can."

What type of license does he have? I looked him and his company up on the Florida license lookup website, and he does not appear to have a business license in Florida. His company has an LLC designation, but that is not a license, it is just a name registration. Can you please post his license number? Also, are you saying that no one else who installs gate chips will guarantee their work? I'm not saying that he doesn't do good work, but it is not fair to post inaccurate information about a business and their competition.

Yes, and what does it (a license) matter anyway other than to collect sales tax? When I moved here 5 years ago I was going to start a small computer repair business as I had in NJ as a sole prop. for 15 years as a "side" business. I filled out a 10 line form online, gave them an ID and my TIN and became "licensed" woohoo. I also filed for a business name (ficticous name application). Then I was required to send in "empty" sales tax forms every month or quarter which was a real PITA since I did no business. Since I wanted a fictitious name, ie. business name (same as I had in NJ) getting that required placing an advertisement in a newspaper using that name. Just wasn't worth the hassle so I went out of business 3 months later. The "business license" is totally meaningless and is primarily just for sales tax purposes and for a way for the state to find you. And NO, there was no requirement for any type of insurance for my "business" so my "license" didn't mean I was also insured.

Edit: Interesting. I just looked myself up in FL and my "business" from Jan 2017 still shows as active on a 3rd party site.

Business insurance isn't required by Florida state law except for workers' compensation. Employers must carry this coverage to protect their employees should they become injured or ill while at work

That is simply not true.

It doesn't have a red button, it's a private gate. We have 4 vehicles (not including my bicycle, which I ride often) and 2 gate cards.
Is there any way to get additional gate cards?

The sun visors (driver's side and passenger side) have a little storage slot and the gate card slides in there perfectly. It is very handy to keep the gate card there.
