A study of the radio continuum emission at 1414 MHz from the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565 is presented. The results show the presence of an unresolved central source of 1.3 + or - 0.3 mJy and of a moderately bright disk with a possible two-component structure consisting of a thin disk and a thick one. These observations strongly support the view that radio disks of spiral galaxies are extended in the z-direction and may have a two-component structure. Also, a strict lower limit for the inclination angle of NGC 4565 is derived.
