Anthony,

The volume controls are steps, not analog pots, and the steps are somewhat 
coarse.  You can solve the volume problem by using an external speaker and 
putting a 100-ohm L-pad between the radio and the speaker.  Connect the 
wires from the radio to the end terminals of the pot, and the speaker to the 
center terminal and the end that has the ground side of the radio connected 
to it.  Note that if you use the wrong end of the pot for ground, the 
control will work backwards.

Steve
