Screen shots are not helpful.  Please send cut/paste of the text.

I think I see this:

$PQGSV,1,1,02,02,,,47,03,,,43,0,5*6d

Not sure what $PQ prefix is.  Care to share?

That is 14 fields.  The error message should have been all you need
to figure out the problem:

"malformed GPGSV - feildcount 14 % 4 != 0"

Take that and compare to the gpsd doc for xxGSV:
    https://gpsd.io/NMEA.html#_gsv_satellites_in_view

To summarize, xxGSV starts with 4 fixed fields, then 4 fields per sat.
So NUMFIELDS % 4 === 0, but your sentence fails.  So your sentence is
malformed and gpsd is properly ignoring it.
