you cant use fm on cb or hf for that matter, it excedes bandwith limitations set by the fcc. uhf/ vhf useage is most common. police use fm, as well as 2m operators.

The range on FM isn't significantly different from the range on any other mode. FM has a greater bandwidth, however, which is why it's used mostly on VHF and above.

There's a narrow area at the high end of ten meters where FM is sometimes heard (I operate there once in a while just to see that my rig still works in that mode).

29.660 is a repeater output that is active quite often.Also try 29.600.That is the FM simplex calling freq and is quite active when the band is open.

29.620 is a repeater in New York that is quite active and when the band is open I hear people coming in from all over.
