The cutting-out of the audio when you set the RF gain to a high value happens because Icom combines the RF gain function with the squelch function on one knob.
All things being equal it would be impossible to hear any difference. Both rigs would need to be attached to duplicate speakers. The settings don't matter because there no guarantee that ICOM has their levels identically adjusted in firmware.

Thank you for your comparison.
It would be even greater if we could see the radio screen without glare from the lights.
@@SergioSilva100 sorry, this is at the store during store hours. I cannot adjust the lighting for this video

IC-7610 seems quieter then IC-7760. But also stations are quieter too on IC-7610
@@losradiofanatik I find that right out of the box the 7760 has better filtering and nicer/richer audio.
Not hearing a huge difference between them and for the price difference Hmm 🤔
Not worth the inflated price.
@@Redbelly357 it’s not for everybody. Some would argue it’s a fair price.
