By way of update, I think I’ve determined the source of the clipping audio issue.
Every time I’d tested the radio I had it plugged into my dim bulb tester and I think this was limiting the power available both for the radio and the Bluetooth module. I plugged it straight into power this evening and am getting significantly more volume out of the radio now without running into the clipping issue.
It makes a nice match for our piano. If anyone has a mystery control they’d be willing to part with, I may be interested.
