First of all, I appologize for the geekyness of this one, since I know it's pretty involved. I've decided to attempt to run an RF link on skype via RF on the murs band, but am running in to some difficulties. While I can get the vox set so that the transiever connected to the computer will activate after a certain level, there is one thing i can't do, and was wondering if anyone else had tried this before. First of all, besides having skype on auto-answer, is there any way to answer an incoming call? I can control this via dtmf I know, but if the vox has activated the transiever at the computer, I can't interupt the skype ringing remotely to answer the call. I thought about trying a sort of ring tone which would have a few seconds of silence after each ring, but I'm not sure what format skype uses for ring tones, so can't make one myself. Is that the best solution, or is there something else I've overlooked?
