It never bothered me all that much, actually.  And since I started
working for a company that makes dispatch consoles, I've learned that
most of them have presets (harware or software, depending on the
vintage) to set a minimum volume level for the reasons I mentioned.  So
now I tend to view it more as a "feature".

Another way around the problem is to use some external gizmo like an
amplified speaker, DSP unit, or the like, that has a volume control.  I
had one of the RadShack DSP units on my TR7 for a long time, it also
worked well to reduce the high-frequency hiss in the audio when I was
doing 10-meter satellite work.  I'll probably hook it back up when I
get the new shack finished.
