The Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) on the IMAGE satellite has made numerous passes through or near the source region of Kilometric Continuum (KC) radiation. This radiation has been observed to be generated at the plasmapause near the magnetic equator inside bite-out structures. The KC appear in frequency-time spectrograms as banded emissions emanating from the upper hybrid emission band. Characterizing the local plasma and electron cyclotron frequencies and gradients are important for gaining further understanding of this emission and placing limits on theoretical models of the emission generation processes. The RPI has a distinct advantage in studying this emission because it can both passively detect these emissions and actively sound the local plasma resonances to obtain the surrounding plasma characteristics near the source region. A number of KC events will be presented and analyzed.
