well the gate alows radio waves to travel 2 ways wether it is an incoming or
outgoing worm hole, hence the reason why the sgc can view the imags sent
back from the probe. 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.
