Radiosondes and GPS units

Hi Guys,
Being that I work for the "weather guys", I have access to a number of old
radiosondes (some with GPS units).
These units all failed due to poor sensor operation before flights.
I was wondering if anyone has tried to do anything with these?!
I would like to use the old GPS units off of them and the transmitters
(re-crystal...in a way! -- 403Mhz).
They have built in temp, RH and barometric sensors.... Considering these
things 'fall' out of the sky, I thought someone might have gotten the hold
of one and hacked it a bit!
