In all my TRF sets with 'volume' as a front end RF level adjustment the muting position or lack thereof depends on the strength of the station...Often the controls don't have a very linear response either....There was a reason later sets moved the 'volume' knob to the audio section.

The set shown is a non-avc superhet and they used the same scheme, similar to a TRF. They were a pain to locate a distant station, as you had to crank up the volume/gain control and then readjust it when the station was found.
AVC sure was a godsend.
