    On a serious note, Me Too. UHF response would be my guess. For $4.25 may give them a whirl just to cure my curiosity.

    Correct. They're microwave horn antennas with direct-coupled magnetrons (no waveguide included). Since he has two, they likely came from somebody's local 2-way datacomm app.

    (If the two "narrow" sides were parallel instead of just almost, they would be sectoral horns [in an industry that has a very clear definition of the term]).
