Program in the repeater output and simplex frequencies in the FM subband, c.f. 10-meter band - Wikipedia and set up scan. Note 29.6 is a worldwide calling frequency. When Sporadic-E or F2 opens 10m, you'll hear a lot. Good luck...

As Tom implies, it doesn't mean broadcast FM, but the FM mode. And not only 10 meter FM is possible, but 6 meters as well, since the R75 goes up to 60 Mhz. We don't know where you are (county/state is fine) but there are several places where you can look up to see if there are any 6 meter repeaters in your area, such as RepeaterBook. You can also check the database here to see if someone has added it.

You will not be able to listen to regular local FM 88.0 - 107.0 FM broadcast with the R75 unfortunately.

The R75 only goes up to 60mHz.
As an example, I monitor the Ca. Highway Patrol in the 42-43mHz range which transmits in FM mode. Not much else going on other than that here in FM.
