QField has a settings page for positioning and you can add sources. It can do bluetooth, and this works well with the SparkFun Express. I think it can also do TCP ports. But, the question is what device you have and what interface options it has -- and you did not include that information. > 1. Someone knows how to connect to ntrip caster?

It really depends on which RTK device you have and how it receives RTCM3 reference data (often called "corrections" even though they are not actualy corrections). The SparkFun Express can join a WiFi SSID and make its own connections. Other devices want data injected, with the phone/whatever doing NTRIP. Yet other devices have radio links, satellite or terrestrial, to get reference data. If you have an RTK device which has bluetooth as the interface, and which does not do NTRIP, then yes you'll probably need a second app. But then you need to plumb the received positioning into QField, and I think apps that do NTRIP tend to be able to set mock location (via developer options), so that QField simply gets accurate position from the system. This essentially replaces the system GPS receiver with the external. But really you need to understand your RTK device first.
