Every radiotransmitter has a very distinct loudness level where it begins to distort the transmitted signal. You need to keep the output below this level to maintain good sound quality.

Most commercial radiostations has a box on the output signal called a compressor. It is used to make the sound 'louder' without crossing the distortion level. It is a spesific process , many think it ruins the sound quality, but it is very broadly used in broadcasting.

The n900 lacks this processing, so while it probably broadcast at the same dB levels , it will not sound as loud.
