I think you're thinking of the Eton E5/Grundig G5 (same radio really).  Read
this review from radiointel.com.  I have the Grundig Sat800, but it can not
be compared to the G5.  There is also some G5 reviews on eham.net.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The E5 is a compact radio measuring about 6.6" x 4.1" x 1.1" and weighing in
at just over 12 oz. It is supplied with an AC adapter, carrying case, stereo
ear buds, wire antenna and an Owner's Manual in several languages. Although
no batteries are supplied (it requires 4) AA's)
... Skipping some stuff...
The E5 is a Dual Conversion design offering SSB reception with fine tuning
via a thumbwheel. It offers 700 memories in 100 Pages with alpha-numeric
tagging, ATS (Automatic Tuning Storage) of local FM frequencies, 24 hour
clock with 4 alarms and sleep timer, auto-scan in two modes, FM Stereo at
the Earphone
and Line Out jacks, Local/DX switch, Wide/Narrow IF Selectivity (which also
doubles as a Hi/Lo tone control for FM), and an External Antenna jack.
Tuning
is direct via a traditional keypad, Up/Down slewing buttons (9/10 KHz steps
AM, 5 KHz SW, 100KHz FM), Auto Seek or a Tuning Knob (1KHz AM/SW, 25KHz FM).
And of course the big news…there are dedicated Volume Up/Down buttons,
eliminating the single biggest complaint of the DE1103/KA1103 which lack
them. One
could wish for dual speed tuning from the tuning knob…the 1KHz AM/SW steps
render the knob most useful for fine tuning…band scanning is better
accomplished
using the Up/Down buttons with their larger steps. Thankfully there is no
muting or chuffing when tuning via the knob.

Has anyone had any experience with any of the Grundig S W radios?  Not sure
of model but may be a Y 5 which sells for around 200.00 bucks.  Thanks Ed
