5 Furuno Model FM8500 VHF Radio giving of a strange channel -231 is an indication of a dead battery. The minus channel that refused to respond to any channel tuning indicates that due to the battery problem, every channel goes off (- minus sign). The solution is to either charge the battery if it has charging type battery to ascertain whether the battery only drops from current or is actually dead. Or if it is a replaceable battery, let it be replace.
