------------
RNET Sensors: Several sensor domes were found damaged.
Sta 2 the cows chewed on the domes, but that probably happened recently.
Sta 5 the dome was dirty and smashed down.
Sta 3 the dome was slightly dimpled.

Ophir was down. Upon arrival, numbers like 2032, 2000 were being provided. To make sure it was up, recycled power, which naturally killed it. After fumbling around and finding the ophir.c calib routine, which Gordon documented (thanks-G), determined that "a" return is the command to initiate 20hz output. That worked and guess what, we began getting the same numbers once again!

Baro, trh, soil IC. Note Assman check first was hung on xarm over elec/batt box area; readings higher than trh, maybe a bit of sun on thermom. shafts. Last 5 readings i held it by hand toward horizon and shaded the shafts; readings
consistent. IMHO, hanging of assman isn't best approach and causes slight offsets.
