An overview of spatially resolved observations of solar radio bursts obtained by the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope at 5.8 GHz during the last ten years reveals the occurrence of different classes of burst emission defined by their source localization characteristics. Four major classes of bursts according to the source position relative to sunspots, the source size and structure, and the source height, could be tentatively distinguished and compared with burst spectral characteristics as well as with soft X-ray emission oberved by YOHKOH. These findings are in favour of a magnetic origin of the underlying flare process.
