The problem of the efficiency of the ion-synchrotron maser proposed by Hoshino and Arons is analyzed in a linear approximation. A hot, relativistic, electron-positron plasma penetrated by a relativistic ion beam is considered. At the front of the magnetosonic shock wave an electromagnetic wave is generated, which should be damped on positrons of the plasma. This should, in turn, result in synchrotron emission from energetic positrons in the high-frequency range, far above the natural frequencies of the plasma. It is shown that one must allow simultaneously for the conditions of resonance at a high harmonic of the ion-cyclotron frequency and at the fundamental of the electron-cyclotron frequency. Natural transverse waves are generated in the process, but within the framework of the linear theory there is no positron acceleration due to the kinetic energy of ions.
