You guessed it Mike. Can't open the gate from inside the house unless someone is actually at the gate calling in. On the way out you can open the gate if you have a wireless opener in your vehicle. This is one of the problems. If a house guest is on the way out they wouldn't have an opener so the home owner would have to drive up there with them and use his opener.
Thanks for everyones assistance. I'll be installing a door controller (Thanks to KLD). I have 3 available pairs to work with between the gate and the house. The door controller will connect to what Bobby referred to as the RTE leads. (Still wonder what that stands for). All future questions I'll throw down in the Panasonic category.

RTE = Request To Exit. But there should have been a magnetic "wand" placed in the ground about 25 feet from the gate (towards the house) next to the driveway that would detect the running engine and would cause the gate to open when a vehicle approaches the gate on the way out.
It sounds like there were a lot of things left out on the original installation of the gate opener.
