Never heard of one. A VHF radio is often considered safety equipment. Wouldn't want to compromise that by adding unnecessary features. Also, VHF and FM have different frequency bands and different antenna requirements. A FM receiver might work ok with a VHF antenna, I'm not sure of the other way around.

Yaesu makes something, but it is more on the side of a ham radio, dont think you need a license.
there are vhf/fm antenna splitters. One antenna, but you still need seperate radios

Google Lowrance LVR-880 DSC - VHF+FM, discontinued but I'm sure you could pick one up somewhere.
