We extend the investigation of tet{Bercik05} to the case of a non-rotating solar-type reference star. Using three-dimensional numerical simulations of a turbulent dynamo driven by convection and the empirical relationship of tet{Pevtsov03}, we predict the level of X-ray emission from such a convective turbulent dynamo, and find that our results are consistent with quiet Sun observations. This implies that it is plausible that the Sun may have a rotation-independent convective dynamo working together with the large-scale dynamo believed to be responsible for the solar cycle.
