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?
They will work well for communication between vehicles, but you need to connect them to mag mount antennas. A car is basically a faraday cage. Radios don't work well inside unless you're running 900 MHz or higher.
Save them for the collapse of society 😅
Send them to me 😁
We use them for Scout camping, and they work pretty well for that, but we're rarely spread out too far and not inside metal cages
Makeshift Repeaters would be an obvious solution :)
Donate them to storm chasers?
Apart from use as walkie talkies we can sometimes tune in and listen to the ISS as it passes over our location
