A friend brought an old Motorola Mini T-A-C 6800XL that her son had purchased shortly before he died 15 or so years ago.
She brought it to me because she thought it might be something for the Mooney he also was in the process of purchasing at the time. I know nothing about such things and figured that the only reason he might have installed this in his plane was if it was a satellite phone. This phone has never been installed in anything and has a speaker and microphone accessories for hands free use.
Anyway, is this a cell or satellite phone?
Is it of any value?
It would seem the only real use for this device any more would be someone that has a Boat they live on, or some other application where they need cellular type features, don't want to use a tiny cell phone, and don't mind the cord.
I called Motorola, they didn't know anything about it, except it may be an old cell phone.
