Both houses were out in the wilds with only one or two houses in the vicinity.
This box had to be replaced as it failed while I was living at the house. It's possible that the original didn't like 10W of 2m radio next to it.

DACS Digital access carrier system

Or more likely its predecessor the WB900 system - audio channel plus one analogue carrier channel. See http://www.rastall.com/wb900.htm |
Probably the analogue system as it was 1984 when I lived in the house just outside Bangor. I do remember watching while it was replaced and there was definitely a battery inside the unit.
