Two dishes and one rectifier along with more cables and a very long lead which looks like an aerial lead (ZA 43174).

They look dirty from years of being stored in a shed but are almost untouched.

Any help would be of assistance.

Cheers,

Yes, those are part of the SR B70 (or Marconi HP 311) SHF radio relay set. You're missing the actual set, though.

It operates around 4.5 to 4.8 GHz.

I actually need the aerial leads for a set, and a few other parts, so if you're not intending to get the rest of it, I'd be interested in buying them.

(The set is not that useful, providing a duplex audio channel on a strictly line of sight microwave link. Works well from hilltop to hilltop, or across a river/gorge, but obstructions are bad news - and a cow standing in front of the aerial will completely block the signal.)
