I shall discuss observations of the spectrum of the integrated emission from the Crab Nebula. The radio data with accurate calibrations lead to a flux density spectral index of −0.26. Discrepancies in the published fluxes at millimetre wavelengths can be resolved if appropriate angular dimensions are used. In the optical range the spectral index has increased to a value of −0.9 if 1m.0 of absorption is used. At X-ray wavelengths the spectral index has increased further to −1.2.
