ENCRYPTED (undecoded) → 48 packets

Appear only with channel and ciphertext string.

Decrypted vs Encrypted

~80% decoded (telemetry, position, nodeinfo).

~20% encrypted (48/247).

Encrypted messages appear on specific channels:

Channel 106 (16x)

Channel 8 (7x)

Channel 180 (6x)

Plus others: 13, 38, 182, 3, 89, 161, 167 …

This suggests multiple “mesh islands” or side-groups, some public, some closed.

Channels

Most decoded packets don’t explicitly state channel (they broadcast to ^all).

Encrypted packets do: main active channels = 106, 8, 180.

A few stragglers on 89, 161, 167 (rare activity).

Encrypted traffic shows parallel groups operating on multiple channels (not all decoded).

⚡ Insights:

Three channels dominate encrypted traffic: 106, 8, 180.

A “long tail” of rare encrypted packets appear on small side channels (13, 38, 182, 55, 89, 161, 167, 170).

Likely these are different groups / subnets testing or chatting on their own pre-shared keys.
