Default Radio problem

Just purchased 93 Corvette and need help with radio that fades. Radio increases volume as RPM go above idle. Car idles around 500 RPM and radio volume drops at this RPM. Gauges show 14.1 volts all time with not much change. What should I be checking to eliminate this problem? Appreciate any help. Thanks

Frank

on the volume ****, there is a ring **** that reads "SVC", turn it counter clockwise. That will turn it off.

It is called Speed Volume Compensation (or something like that), and does exactly what you describe.
