If you dont use the default LongFast meshtastic is really empty. I switched my node to MediumSlow, since it’s like 86% faster than LongFast. I knew there would not be any in my area, so I subscribed to the msh/US MQTT topic and theres still nobody else. I’m going to leave it like that for a while and see if I hear anything during any kind of band openings or catch any other MQTT nodes trying out that topic. And yes, both uplink and downlink are enabled. I do know that there are some nodes in the Bay Area on msh/US/mqtt-bayme-sh, but I am not near their.

    idk what you’re using for last week view but it seems to be around 20% for big router nodes in the heart of the city here atm

      To get the last week view, tap the router short name, tap more details, and then tap device metrics log, then tap 1w. It will give you the device metrics for the past week and then you can add all the channel utilization numbers together and divide by the number of reports you have. As I mentioned before, the routers in my area report every 12 hours and so over a week there are 14 logs so I have to add all the channel utilization numbers up and then divide by 14.
