The GDO (Garage Door Opener) That the SG teams use to signal their activation and impending entrence into the wormhole actually opens the Iris does it not? well we are lead to beleive that it would have this capibility based on the tech explination "Signals the Stargate to open the iris ". to me a more plauseable explination would be that it signals back a green or red for go or no go.
