The volume knob will increase power from 0 to 20 in 1 unit increments. If it is completely quiet and I am 15 feet from the radio I have to keep it at 15 just as a comfortable background music while carrying on a conversation. As for the bad tuner reception that I have read in other reviews, this is probably true although I live in a larger city and I am not... more info
