The 6m sonic is working ok. The sonic was attached to port 200 as a test and itwas fine. The problem is with channel 204. Using rserial the output message is very cryptic. Maybe an incorrect baud rate. The channel_config and prep.config look ok. The tsoils were installed. Unfortunately the Tsoil to the east could not be because some creature decided to break the lid of the electronics box. One of the Tsoil probes at the east site is out of the ground. The 2m krypton signal was good. A backup sonic was used and the krypton was fine. When the original CSAT was attached the signal again looked ok. A test was run by disconnecting the krypton and checking for a response change. That test was successful. The interface cable between the krypton and CSAT was changed because the original one was not potted. It may be the problem was due to water in the original cable.

Also emerald W242889, port 2 (/dev/ttyS14, normally channel 210) did not receive characters. To work around these bad ports, I changed connections at the patch panel.
