The magnetosphere and radio emission of Jupiter is compared with those of the earth. It was predicted that Jupiter would have a Van Allen belt at a radius such that its magnetic field strength would be about equal to that in earth's Van Allen belt and that Jupiter's moon Io travels in the Van Allen belt. Because of Io's low conductivity, plasma sweeping past hits Io, producing a turbulent plasma proboscis which forms hydrodynamic shocks. These shocks travel down the magnetic field lines to the Jovian magnetosphere where they stimulate electron cyclotron emission and free radical spin-flip emission. The free radicals likely to exist abundantly and the richness of the likely decametric frequencies resulting from the many g values of the free radicals are discussed.
