The GPS at 200m has quit reporting. I noticed 200m was an outlier in the "chronyc sourcestats" output on flux. This listing shows an offset of 1051 microseconds for 200m instead of +-4 microseconds as the others:

The serial port doesn't show large values of fe (framing errors) or breaks:

root@200m root# cktty 3
3: uart:XR16850 mmio:0x10000000 irq:122 tx:1936 rx:808452280 fe:24 RTS|DTR

I don't think power to serial port 3 can be controlled with "tio 3 1/0". When I tried to power off the GPS on 150m, the output to "rs G" did not stop.

As a workaround, I edited /etc/ntp.conf on 200m and added 150m as a server. So there is no urgency to replace this GPS.
