I bought a few pocket radios from radio shack, actually "the source" at the time, but I think it might be back to "radio shack". One of them I got some clay in it, tried to take it apart to fix the sliding switch and now the volume is all messed up... i didnt even touch any of the electronics... i actually bought 2 iof them, 3 actually and gave one away to a young family member for christmas, but i digresss : )
One of them the extendable antenna got wrecked so i switched the two antennas and now both of the radios volume are messed up. I couldn't believe how loud these little things were - about the size of a walkamn with a speker on the front. I am not sure if i lost some volume capacity when i took them apart... but they some times blare the volume at certain points when you adjust the volume knob, alos the steady volume seems quieter. But i was using one of them last night and i think after scrolling through both the am and fm last night the volume seems to have righted it self somewhat - sweet.
