A search for radio recombination lines near 20 cm at z=0.193 and z=0.886 towards the gravitational lens system PKS1830-211 has yielded upper limits of |τL| ≤ 5 × 10−5 and ≤ 5 × 10−4 at the two redshifts respectively. Based on the non-detections, we derive upper limits to the emission measure of the ionized gas in the absorbing systems. We also present continuum flux density measurements over the frequency range 0.3—45 GHz made at a single epoch.
