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?

Yes, some amateur activity takes place on FM up on 10 meters. Also some
pirates have run FM on 6925, 6950 etc.

The FM mode is also incorporated in the set for use with the optional VHF
convertor.
