That would just about have to be the Freeplay Summit radio from C. Crane.
It's smaller than the Freeplay Plus, but is digitally tuned and works on
solar or wind-up.

I notice they have a new one called the Freeplay Ranger, too.

I'd like to hear opinions on any of the "emergency" short wave radios
available
that have alternative energy sources, such as hand-cranking for extended
power
outages. I've seen Grundig FR 200, Kaito KA 008. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I've been reading all the great replies to this post, and
know I want to buy an "emergency" radio too. The
Kaito KA008 looks pretty good to me, but does anyone
own one and care to give an evaluation.

I'm also reminded of a post I made many months ago...
asking about a blurb I saw in the 2003 Passport.
On page 104 of the 2003 issue, at the bottom of the
"Coming Up" box, it says "Emergencies? Look for the forthcoming
appearance of a new digitally tuned windup/solar powered travel
portable, reportedly engineered for serious performance."
As far as I know, no one knew what that referred to when I
posted the question... so I ask again... anyone know what radio
they're referring too? None of the "emergency" radios I've seen
seem like they are serious performers.
