The best use instead of throwing them out would be to use the 120D for an  
air monitor. 
 
 We used to have a remote engineer who found out the field set would  work 
well in buildings where he couldn't receive the AM station.  He would  set it up 
orient it to the station and feed it into the air monitor  headsets.  Even in 
noisy locations he usually could find an area inside the  building that it 
would do a good job and sense it was battery powered, run the  audio back down a 
hall to the remote feed point for an air monitor.
 
Also many years ago a station I worked for had a pretty shabby of air  
monitor.  I had always wanted to replace it but never found anything at  a 
reasonable cost.  We got a new morning guy and he wanted off the air  in his headphones 
and could not stand the air existing monitor.   Manager and PD called me in 
and said fix it.  Temporarily I hooked up  our FIM and the guy was happy.  
Tried several receivers and the FIM was  still better.  Finally got the manager to 
buy an AM RF Amp and a  modulation monitor for the studio everyone was happy. 
 Got the FIM  back.
