NTRIP Caster on CHC or iGage Receiver
Date: 8 October 2021

Thesis
The CHC and most iGage receivers have an internal NTRIP caster that can be used to send Base corrections to drone controllers or other devices. Once you setup the caster, it will stay setup until a complete factory reset is performed. So, this is a once and done configuration.

These receivers have an NTRIP caster:  iG5, iG8, iG8a, iG9, iG9a i73, i80, i90, i83, i89, i93, iBASE

NOTE: the iGage iG10 has a different method which is described in this FAQ: [ iG10 NTRIP Caster ]
