Newbie, with many questions!

Hi folks!
Wow looks like a load of information here!
But too start.......I am a total Newbie, but spend a
load of time up in the back woods of British Columbia,
and whenever going out with groups of people, (All friends)
Exploring, we all use CB radios in our vehicles, however these are limited
in range and atmospherics (Like you all don't know this)
FRS is quite useless also.
I have been given a bunch of VHF Radios, for free, and am looking
for some advice. I need to know, are these worth keeping, should I buy new,
How do I program them, best places for bits etc.
I have
1: 1x Ericsson GE Mobile Model 344A4210p13 Rev N. No mike. (Shows an error while keying up)
2: 5x Motorola Radius P110 Handsets, no batteries, 8 Chargers (Nicad) and one fast charger (I think NiMH?) and only 2 antennas
3: 1x Yaesu Mobile FTC-4610 With Mike
4: 1x Yaesu Mobile FTC-4625 No Mike (These are cheap from the Source/Radio Shack etc)
5: 1x Motorola GM-300, No Mike (RJ Type Plug)
Have gotten the PCB/Parts layout for the Radius Programming, and will be building one in a hurry,
and am out and about looking for batteries for them (Ebay, local shops etc.)
I am quite the Electronics lover, My dad is an Electronics Engineer, and I am a Systems Engineer,
so, I am not afraid of much Off now to borrow his Oscilliscope to see if any of thes radios
still have a programmed freq in them.
Any info, help would be muchly appreciated!
Cheers!
