I like my hand-crank dynamo Grundig radio I got from Radio Shack. Came in really handy when we lost power for several hours last fall.

(p.s. -- Hand cranked radios are great; I got mine from the C Crane catalog for Y2K problems, which didn't come to pass)

I have the Summit FreePlay Can't overwind it, also has solar panel, as well as A/C adapter. Shortwave and digital tuning too. Remarkably small. A tad pricey, but worth it.
