   All the change in volume is done at the station in audio.  All radios   
   will do the same thing.  TV sets used to be really loud during   
   comercials but the FCC made them put a limit on how much louder they   
   could be than the programs.   
      
   Whatever radio you get you will have to find a device to go between the   
   radio and the speaker.
