Well, they have them on portable AM/FM "emergency radios" and there are
hand cranked cell phone chargers. To run a transmitter you need a bigger
generator. They are on the surplus market and there is a British or
maybe Australian company that makes one for the Q-mac HF portable
transceiver.
I don' think its a very efficient way to stay on the air. Better to get
a couple of hefty batteries and put them on a solar panel for
charging. I can run my Scout for quite a while on a 7 AH battery, if I
reduce power to about 20-30 watts.
