Reference is made to statistical analyses of solar radio observations showing that proton events are likely to occur when the flux at 3 cm, S3, of the slowly varying component (SVC) exceeds 25 sfu and when the ratio of S3 to S8 (the flux at 8 cm) is greater than unity. The study presented here provides a theoretical explanation of this. The spectrum of the SVC is calculated using the gyro-radiation emission, and it is found that the main reason for S3 being greater than 25 sfu is a tenfold increase in the conductive energy flux in the active region over the quiet region; this raises the height of the gyro-resonance layer for the 3-cm emission. It is also found that the main reason that the the S3/S8 ratio is greater than or approximately equal to 1 is an increase in the coronal magnetic field gradient in the active region, causing a decrease in the optical thickness for the gyro-resonance absorption at 3 cm. It is precisely these active regions that are most conducive to the production of proton events.
