Aperture synthesis radio maps of NGC 3079 and the interacting pair NGC 4490/4485 at 2.7 and 8.1 GHz show the dominant component of radio emission to be nonthermal in both cases. NGC resolves into a compact nuclear component and a ridge parallel to the plane of the galaxy; a triple emission source roughly perpendicular to the galactic ridge may be interpreted in terms of explosive events in the nucleus. Some of the radio-emitting regions in NGC 4490 coincide with H II complexes; in addition, the nonthermal emissions in NGC 4490 appear to be associated with active star formation.
