Re: \QST\ entry in IgnoreRegEx causes errors

Your syntax is incorrect. You want to recognize [QST], as someone might type QST in a message. On the Ignore RegEx line type \[QST]. (The [ character has a meaning in Regular Expressions, so to make it a printable character, it must be "escaped" by preceding it with a \ character.)
Another instance worth noting is when incoming messages have a checksum error. Usually, they are not displayed, but occasionally they are. These corrupted messages always begin with CQCQCQ:. The : character also has a function in?Regular Expressions, so it must be escaped also. Enter CQCQCQ\: on the?Ignore RegEx line.
You may have multiple items on the?Ignore RegEx line by joining them with the vertical bar character. It acts as a logical OR.
\[QST]|CQCQCQ\:
Anything matching the?Ignore RegEx also suppresses the Chat Activity Sound.
While you are in the appearance window, you may as well enter your callsign, followed by (?i) to the Notice RegEx line. KC6AUP(?i) for example. This will change any text containing your callsign, in upper or lower case text, to the Notice color.
Save and exit
Now you can add filters to the Chat screen. Add a filter each for [QST] and CQCQCQ:
To make your Chat window even quieter, go to the Chat settings and clear the "Show status updates in chat" check box.
