Gary noticed that isfs9 is online. I logged in and saw these sensors reporting:

The GPS is not reporting. "rs G" also reports nothing. The required gps processes, tee_tty, and gpsd are running:
ps -ef | fgrep gps
root 1296 1 0 17:21 ttyS3 00:00:00 /opt/nidas/bin/tee_tty /dev/ttyS3 4800n81lnrxx -p 60 -l 18 /dev/gps_pty0 /dev/gpsd_pty
gpsd 1339 1 0 17:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gpsd -b -n -P /run/gpsd/gpsd.pid /dev/gpsd_pty
On port 3, cktty shows:
sudo cktty 3
3: uart:XR16850 mmio:0x10000000 irq:122 tx:74 rx:74 RTS|DTR
74 characters transmitted (by the gps configure program) but only 74 (echo?) received.
This looks to me like its connector has fallen loose from the interface panel.
So that this system has good time, Gary suggested we configure a chrony server for it, so I un-commented:
server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org offline minpoll 8
in /etc/chrony/chrony.conf, via sudoedit, and then
sudo service chrony restart
Chrony now shows that it is synced to the network server:

Later, at 16:10 MDT, noticed that the GPS is now coming in.
