EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
WHEN TRYING TO LOWER THE RADIO USING THE VOLUME KNOB, THE VOLUME ACTUALLY WENT HIGHER UNTIL IT COULDN'T GET ANY LOUDER. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER MY CELL PHONE, AND COULDN'T HEAR THE PERSON DUE TO THE VOLUME OF THE RADIO. IT SIMPLY WOULDN'T LOWER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WORTH FIXING. *PH
