About the Summit

The Freeplay Summit is a feature-rich portable radio, offering multi-band digital tuning, clock, alarm and memory presets. This premium radio combines elegance with the reliability of multiple power options in self-charge, solar and external recharge ability.

Placed in the kitchen windowsill the Summit will keep you informed and entertained using only the sun’s energy without the need for a wall charge, disposable batteries or even cranking.

The Summit is provided with an AC charger for wall charging when available, or to leave plugged in at your bedside, and the headphone socket lets you enjoy personal listening.

This stylish radio does not compromise on quality or robustness; with sturdy rubberized panels on the top and bottom of the radio and all components manufactured in high quality materials.  Global frequency coverage makes the Summit an ideal travel companion, whether camping locally or trekking abroad:  Freeplay’s power independence means that you’ll never need to worry about packing the correct travel charger.  Powered by you or the sun, the Summit provides assured information and entertainment wherever you find yourself.
