An FM repeater won't transmit AM, but an AM receiver can receive an FM repeater. Simply tune slightly off frequency and you can copy (not well, but well enough to understand). Research "slope detection" for some background on this.

An AM signal will bring up an FM repeater, and repeat what it hears, but it won't be very intelligible.
