Has anyone heard of the Borg Johnson Radio?

I got an offer in the mail that was offering it free with a 10 day
trial oT a "nutritional supplement". The mailing says the radio is a
$79 value, but I can't find any information on the radio. If it were
legit, I'd expect to see more information about the radio.

The picture of the radio shows a 12 band FM/TV/MW/SW1-9 radio with a
model number of HS-912R.

If you want more info, email me and I'll send you the technical
specifications as well as a link to see a picture of the radio.

I'd rather be sure the radio is genuine and works as advertised than
get it and be disappointed.

Thanks in advance,

Oh, I did look, for 15 bucks interesting. I found this, at
http://www.lesswaiting.com/rv-radio.html :

"Borg Johnson HS912R Radio: This radio enables reception of ten
shortwave bands as well as AM and FM. The FM band is longer than usual,
so you can also receive the Japanese FM band (76-90MHz) if you travel to
Japan, or the audio for part of the television band. It has a built-in
speaker, DC power jack, earphone jack, telescoping antenna, and wrist
strap. It is not quite small enough to be considered a pocket radio, but
the slightly larger size seems to improve its performance as compared to
most pocket-size shortwave radios. It has good sound quality, not the
tinny sound produced by some pocket radios. The slightly larger size
also makes it easier to insert and remove batteries, and the radio
doesn't tip over easily. Unlike most smaller radios, it uses 2 "D" size
batteries, which gives it much longer battery life. AM and FM reception
are both fairly good. Shortwave reception is good for a radio of its
size although certainly not as good as most of the more expensive
shortwave radios. It was possible to receive stations in Holland,
Germany, Cuba, Vietnam, Taiwan and China, although not all at the same
part of the night. Stations in Indiana and Florida came in clearly. The
telescoping antenna turns 360 degrees, not just straight up or left and
right. Reception does not change greatly when the radio is put down or
moved slightly, unlike most of the pocket-size radios. The instructions
were very minimal but the radio is easy to use. Overall, this is one of
the best inexpensive (under $30) shortwave radios, especially when
considering sound quality and battery life."

You can buy a little Bell & Howell AM/FM/Shortwave shirt pocket size
radio just as good for about eight or nine dollars.I own one.
