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).
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 …

⚡ 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.
