@shirin-klees This issue has been discussed: https://www.uugear.com/forums/technial-support-discussion/vu-gpsdr-black-screen-when-running-gpsdrpp/#post-1813

Some PD power supply limit the current when the device does not negotiate PD. A "dumb" 5V power supply with enough output current is preferred.

We found the official Raspberry Pi 3A or 5A power supply works very well.
