One last ditto. Yes, its the same on the TR7A model as well. Strong
signals just keep on coming through. Good thing my wife's got a hearing
problem. Otherwise I'd have to make a choice !! Just kidding....not
really,.....well...maybe??

It can be argued that this is a "feature", not a "bug". It's not uncommon
in
the commercial radio world to have a "minimum volume level" that prevents
users from turning the volume completely down, thus eliminating the "I
didn't
hear the call" excuse. And the TR7 design was, after all, offered
commercially.
These days, of course, it's done in software....
