I believe for the FR60 walkie-talkies, if they are not sending or receiving, the issue could be related to the antenna, battery, or internal components. You can try replacing the batteries and/or antennas to see if that resolves the issue.
As for the T5820 walkie-talkie, if the rubber on the antenna is broken, it's likely that the antenna itself is also damaged. In this case, you can try replacing the antenna with a new one. Antennas are typically available for purchase online or at electronics stores.
In terms of cost, repairing older walkie-talkies like these may not always be cost-effective. If the repairs are extensive or require replacement of major components, it may be more practical to purchase new walkie-talkies instead.

Sorry to hear of your broken antenna. This is no reason to discard the radio, however. This may be a good opportunity for you to do some experimenting. For example you may make an antenna repair by simply attaching a wire to the stub which is still on the radio with a small alligator clip. Begin with a length of 16 or 20 ga. wire about a foot long. Experiment with coiling the wire as opposed to using it straight. Try a piece of wire such as a coathanger. You will not harm your radio with this type of experimenting and it may be a period of enlightenment for you. Good Luck.
