Hello, I'm interested in trying shortwave listening. I have narrowed
my choices to the Kaito 1103, and Sony SW7600GR.

I would very much appreciate any opinions on which you prefer, and
why.

Also, is lack of wide/narrow switch on the Sony a problem?

Thanks.

Buy the Sony! It is superior in every way. It has the famous Sony
Sync Detector.
If you find shortwave boring and a waste of time at least you will be
able to resell the Sony.
The Kaito has Zero, as in 0baMa0- "0" resale value.
