Close links appear to exist between the optical narrow line region (NLR) in Seyfert galaxies and the nuclear non-thermal radio emission. Both occur on similar scales (~ 102 —103 pc), and correlations have been found between the 21 cm radio power and both the [OIII] λ5007Å luminosity and linewidth (de Bruyn & Wilson 1978; Whittle 1985). Approximate balance appears to exist between the thermal pressure of the NLR gas and the relativistic and magnetic pressure of the radio components (de Bruyn & Wilson 1978; Unger et al. 1985; Pedlar, Dyson & Unger 1985). There are also several examples of a direct spatial association between the optical and radio components, for example Mkn 78 (Pedlar et al. 1988).
