The radio properties of Uhuru x-ray sources with fairly certain extragalactic idertifications are described briefly. Radio to x-ray flux ratios are low for rich clusters of galaxies and high for double radio sources. There is some evidence from the Abell 426 (Perseus) and Abell 1367 clusters that a radio galaxy in a rich cluster may be the certer of extended x-ray emission. Nuclei of galaxies have an enormous range in x-ray luminosity; the known range is from approximates 10/sup 30/ W for the Milky Way to approximates 3 x 10/sup 38/ W for 3C 273. Unidentified x-ray sources at high galactic latitudes may include new classes of objects with very low radio to x-ray flux ratios or hard x-ray emission. (auth)
