Abstract:
    This paper presents results from a continuum radio survey of a
    complete sample of 248 southern E and S0 galaxies. All the galaxies
    were observed at 2.7GHz (11cm) with the Parkes radio telescope, and
    those detected were reobserved at 5.0 GHz (6 cm). Thirty-seven galaxies
    were detected above a level of 25-30mJy, and a consideration of the
    background source density at 2.7GHz indicates that no more than two or
    three of these detections are due to background sources.
