I believe they are all BaoFeng UV-5R+/UV5R.
They were recommended for us when off roading to communicate between vehicles, but never seemed to work great at that.
Somewhere I think I still have the usb programming cable for them.
Edit: apparently the intent of my post was lost in my poor wording of the title. It has been updated to better reflect that I would like to use them, but for what? And how?
Save them for the collapse of society 😅
Well yes, but can they be used as police scanners? Weather update radios? Or are they strictly to communicate with another hand held?
My radio dummy tip (I’d definitely not an expert) is definitely go outside when scanning for interesting stuff to listen to. It took me a few afternoons of scanning to find anything, let alone anything interesting. Hopefully you’ll have better luck :-)
They have a recieve range of 134-176 I think and 420-480, as long as it’s standard analog you should be able program in some fun things to listen to.
I have one setup for railroad frequencies and I hear some unique conversations.
Done. Now what?
LOL, I’d suggest a USB power strip to keep them charged. If you really want to get rid of them something like a local Boy Scout troop maybe? Obviously they have issues, there might be some other outfit like a local ARRL group.
