This has been discussed before and I agree with you 100% on this.  The f =
key with one beep should never take one to full volume for safety =
reasons.  The few people who insist on it perhaps should have an option =
in the firmware in the settings to have f with one beep increment or go =
to full volume, but most of us I think agree with you on this.

Subject: [bookport] Loudest volume command


Hello all,

I've been meaning to ask a question, and after I accidentally did this =
to myself again this morning, I thought I would post=20
about this issue.

My question concerns the "f for 1 beep" command to go to the loudest =
volume. Do people actually use this? I ask=20
because I find that the only time I ever press this key is by accident, =
which results in an unpleasantly loud burst of=20
speech. I understand why this command is there--it makes sense, =
intuitively. But maybe a more useful (and less painful)=20
option might be to have the machine increase the volume by 5 or so =
whenever "f for one beep" is pressed. This would=20
allow the user to quickly increase the volume, but it would save some =
wear and tear on my poor ears. <grin>

Would something like this even be a possibility? And if it is, what =
would people think?

Sorry if anyone gets great use out of this command. I just thought I =
would post this suggestion here to see what others=20
think.

Angie
