The ESP32 provides the SparkFun Postcard with WiFi and Bluetooth® connectivity to operate as an NTRIP caster or client. Meanwhile, the 4-pin locking JST-GH connector allows users to transmit or receive RTCMv3 messages for RTK corrections from a local base station. |
A maker that says what its own phrase means
Schiit Audio does not leave "designed and built in the USA" to the reader. On each product page it spells the phrase out as "the vast majority of the total production cost" going to US companies manufacturing in the US. Then it names the parts: chassis made in California, circuit boards made in California or Nevada, and final assembly in Corpus Christi, Texas.
"The vast majority" is not all of it, and the same page names the converter chip and other components by brand without saying where they are made. That is why the entry reads as qualified, and the label is not a criticism. It is what the company said.
A board that names its parts in the origin sentence
SparkFun's RTK Postcard page opens with "Designed and manufactured in Boulder, CO USA", and the same sentence goes on to name the Quectel GNSS receiver and the Espressif module the board is built around. It does not say where those two modules are made, so the entry reads as qualified.
