on hf the only thing you will here is 10 meter fm
mostly repeater action
try tuning in 29.620, 29.640, 29.660, 29.680.
29.600 is simplex. the solar cycle is approaching its minimum right now so
the bands are almost always dead. if you have the vhf/uhf convertor
installed most scanner type freqs are fm.

I have a Drake R8B. Great radio but I can't figure out what the FM mode is
for. I've never heard any signal that requires it. Have you?
