Who heard it

Last 24 hours, plus 2 direct link(s) heard earlier.

This node is a gateway. It has received 3 node(s) itself (12 RF frame(s)) and uplinks its own traffic straight to MQTT — so it is not heard by anything the way an ordinary node is. MQTT is the way out, not a receiver: traffic reaches it through a gateway, and this node is its own.

Reading the hop budget. Every Meshtastic frame carries a hop limit that each relay decrements. A reception showing 0 left is one that arrived with nothing to spare — one more relay in the path and it would not have arrived at all. That is the closest this data comes to explaining a loss, and it is still not a loss: a frame that was dropped is exactly the one that never reached a gateway to be counted here.
