In a previous reply to your question, Steve states:

" ... the SW77 is much, much better than the 7600GR on SSB, largely
because it permits smaller tuning increments ... "

This is incorrect as the '7600 has an ANALOG clarifier for SSB; that,
coupled with the USB/LSB switch allows for essentially perfect
phasing.
In other words, there is "no" tuning "increment," or, you could say
it
is "infinite."

Best,

I don't know all the technical details of the fine tuning knob or
clarifier on the 7600GR, but it doesn't make the 7600GR the equal of
the SW77 when it comes to SSB reception. Maybe the superior performance
of the SW77 is due to something other than its 50 hz tuning
increments...I don't know. In any event, the difference in performance
is so striking when you compare the two receivers side by side, I think
it would be worth plunking for a used SW77--at least if SSB is a
priority.
