Suppose the short press just happens to display the volume, while toggling the squelch mode (which I infer is the GNS430 behavior, since it's been 10 years since I've flown with one).
One could double-press the button to get *only* the volume display.
On my mechanical knobs devices, I still end up *twisting* them to figure out where the volume is set when the silence becomes disconcerting. And I always wonder "where did I end up?" So if this happens a second time, I usually make a radio check. A visual display (that I can remember as "aha, that's the right level!") in any form is good.
