None whatsoever, but I'm sure they're older HTs from the pre-trunking
days.  I suspect they'll be kind of a pain to work with, but will
still be useful for ... something.  It might be amusing to set up a
simplex repeater on one of the amateur frequencies they cover.

(And, if nothing else, we're still better equipped to handle these as
e-waste in 6 months than just about anybody else, and they'll take
less volume than half the printers on the hack shelves, so, y'know,
it's not an awful thing to do.)
