The relationship between optical surface brightness and radio luminosity is considered for 443 galaxies on the basis of radio emission measurements. It is found that an increase in the relative number of galaxies with high radio luminosities with increasing optical surface brightness is observed not only among elliptical, lenticular, and peculiar galaxies, but also among spiral and irregular galaxies.
