The plasma{endash}maser instability of the electromagnetic radiation in the presence of electrostatic lower hybrid turbulence is studied, considering the contribution of the electrostatic beat wave. It is found that the plasma{endash}maser contribution from the electrostatic beat wave is ({omega}{sub {ital pe}}/{Omega}{sub {ital e}}){sup 2} times that from the electromagnetic beat wave, here {Omega}{sub {ital e}} and {omega}{sub {ital pe}} are, respectively, the electron cyclotron and plasma frequency. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
