The authors present a deep 21 cm radio survey of the Lynx 2 field selected from the Leiden-Berkeley Deep Survey areas. In the main part of the paper the authors give a review of the data reduction techniques that were used and present a complete radio sample which they used to determine the 1412 MHz source counts and the median angular size at the mJy level. A comparison of this survey with a survey of the same field with the Very Large Array is performed. A systematic position difference as a function of distance to the field center is found. The absolute uncertainties in the coordinate frame and flux scale are determined, as well as the signal-to-noise dependent error distribution. Corrections for systematic influence of the flux determining algorithm are discussed. Finally, a search was made for variable sources in the maps.
