In Stargate Atlantis you would think the the creators of the 2 known Stargate networks would of created some kind of caller ID at Atlantis. It just boggles the mind that they didn't come up with that Tech when they bulit Atlantis.

There probably wasn't that many bad guys for the Atlantians to deal with at first so all the Worlds with gates were friendly. I do agree thought that it would have been useful when the Wraith came about just in case.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

Radio contact could be faked. unlikely, yes, but these are the ancients, they woiuldn't take the chance - they did things big...
Why would mcKay do it - it was the ancient that said it - 1000s of yrs before mcKay was born. +detecting that it's a wormhole from another whould be harder than a general caller ID system - face it guys - there is a system - we just don't know how to use it. Possibly it's only in the atlantis gates."I have a B.A., M.D., Ph.D and B.Sc. Maybe one day I'll get a J.O.B."

I think they should have some way of communicating back. You dial the gate, send your IDC, then you get conformation that it is OK.*Post in Peace, Yah or Nah*

The first scene in rising 1 shows a puddlejumper flying through the city's shield. Most likely the same type of shielding is used for the iris on the gate. If all gate travel was done by puddlejumper, there would be no need for idc's. The gate would activate, the gateshield would go up, puddlejumper goes through shield, any pursuers get crushed.

In developing software I often place features into the system for when I need to debug, or need additional information that the user normally doesn't need. I would bet the gate's will respond to commands which aren't normally used, such as a 'Who are you?' query.
Also, Atlantis may very well be able to detect the source of the gate, but they haven't found that 'button' yet."For now, you are in need of food and rest, and I am in need of armor"

In one of the sg-1 episodes (i think it was either the one where tealc got stuck in the gate or the one where they let the wormhole pass though a sun), mckay said theres hundreds of signals the gate uses to communicate with the dhd, i think its a safe bet something as simple as caller id would be part of them.
