How this repeater scores

0.39 / 1.00
C is 0.30 and above. 0.45 would make it B.

  • Bridgeweight 0.300.52 × 0.30 = 0.156

    How much of the mesh has to pass through it. A chokepoint between two halves of a network scores high.

  • Coverageweight 0.250.79 × 0.25 = 0.197

    How much of the mesh it can reach, weighted so near neighbours count more than distant ones.

  • Redundancyweight 0.250.06 × 0.25 = 0.014

    What breaks if it vanishes. High means nothing else covers its job. Something else already covers what it does, so losing it would not split the mesh.

  • Trafficweight 0.200.10 × 0.20 = 0.021

    How much it actually relayed, measured rather than inferred from the map. It is carrying little traffic compared with the busiest repeater here.

What would actually change this

  • This one is well sited

    It out-reaches 96 of the 100 repeaters within 25 miles, which average 0.45. If the grade is still low, that is about position in the network rather than anything the radio is doing wrong.

  • Reachable, but not on anyone's path

    It can hear plenty and is relaying little, which usually means traffic has shorter routes. That follows from where the people are, and tends to change on its own as the mesh grows.

Every axis is scored against the other repeaters this analyzer can see, so 1.00 means “the best of these” rather than perfect, and a grade here is not comparable with one from another mesh. CoreScope’s own note on the bands is that they are a first cut, not tuned against real data — so treat the letter as a rough impression and the number as the real answer.
