In general, 10 meter repeaters use PL. This is to prevent a total
mess when the band is open. The split is -1 MHz, ie.: input for 
29.62 is 29.52. Perhaps the best thing to try is park the rig on
29.6 simplex and leave it there for a week. If the band doesn't
open you will hear nothing but if there is a band opening you will
be rewarded. I'm in North Jersey and I seldom hear 10 m FM activity.
A good vertically polarized antenna, or at least an inverted V would
help.
