Okay, was beginning to wonder if there was anyone out there.
I have my receivers sitting in the parking lot of my office, don't want to leave them too long.

Ha Ha, I see that. Let me know if you want to try using the RTN. Actually, I will go turn on the jetpack in case you do.
Bill, Can you attach an external Spread Spectrum antenna to the Triumph-LS?

Antenna is attached to LS now.
How far apart from the base should it be for that? They are both on the roof of my car right now.

Now I don't see it on remote assistance.

Attach the external antenna (FHSS antenna) to the Triumph-LS. In the radio configuration of the Triumph-LS (Home Screen S button on top row of the screen) switch to external antenna. The radio does not appear to be receiving. Could be the internal antenna on the LS. If it receives with the external and not with the internal (when those settings are properly made in configuration) it would give us a clue.
You had several issues with your base. The position was off by miles which will never work. Your output power was set to 100mW instead of 1000mW which would definitely affect range. The LS was set to UHF radio (you have the type of radio in the LS that can receive either UHF or FHSS). Your base is FHSS so the LS would have never picked up your base.
At present, I'm not sure why the LS isn't picking up the base. At one time I was able to perform a scan and saw that the radio was working. Then I tried again and saw nothing. There could be a hardware issue, but at least some of the issue was related to settings.

That's for looking into it. Some of those issues regarding output power and radio settings were likely wrong because I was trying different things to see if it made a difference.
We did have it working with the radio over a month ago. One day it just stopped connecting, when no settings had been changed from the previous day.
At that point I tried using my cell phone for wifi and working with our state DOT RTN. That did work as long as we had cell coverage. That is it worked for one or two projects and now we can't get reliable results at all.
If this is a hardware issue please tell me what needs to be done to send it in for repair.

I looked at your VRS settings. I changed the mount point of your VRS network to a mount point that broadcasts multi-signal message (Galileo) as well as GPS and Glonass.
It seemed to work fine while I was connected.

I don't see a different General Group with that mount point. I presume that is where it needs to be selected. Which mount point did you use?
I have created two general groups for VRS network as suggested by Duane Frymire, near site and automatic.

I edited your nearest VRS profile I did not create a new one.

Yes, the mountpoints I gave you were multi, but might have got changed somehow. Using nysnet you need to create a twitter account and follow nysnet. They no longer send emails, and you need to know when they are down unexpectedly and when planned to be down for upgrades to system. Problems with nysnet might have affected your settings, not sure. At any rate, with twitter feed you get messages such as:
"some sites down this morning, seems our IT network connections to these facilities are down." This was July 31 and affected your area.
"Planning to upgrade software versions on Wednesday, August 19 starting at 1PM. RTN will be unavailable for 1-2 hours after that time." This was tweeted august 10.
If you're around this morning and can connect to rams I can take a look at radio problem. But based on Shawn findings above you may have better luck with support session as I posted earlier. They should be able to determine if you have hardware issue and set up a rma for sending to factory if needed.

Here is a pic of my LS, staking the base, inside the truck, at over12k feet.
I worked all morning, with my setting wrong on the LS. It was set to external antenna, but had none connected. After I connected the external antenna, I took a pic. Here it is:
