I have one of the 3000-1 solid state Transoceanics....it does have FM and seems to be about the best "portable radio" for shortwave listening I have seen. One good thing about it is that it has good automatic gain control and good sensitivity which helps to control the fading in and out of shortwave signals which so often happens. On the cheaper shortwave portables there is not enough reserve gain available and the signal totally fades away and then comes back...where on the Transoceanic it remains fairly listenable. It does not have a built in AC power supply so you will need to use either batteries or a universal type "wall wart" adaptor to power it. It has a sub-mini type plug for the power adaptor connection.
