Some features of power line radiation (PLR) are explained by a model in which magnetospheric waves are presented in terms of van der Pol oscillations in the magnetospheric plasma. The oscillations are subject to entrainment by externally injected signals, specifically PLR harmonics. The system exhibits periodic pulling described as the incomplete entrainment of an oscillator by an injected signal whose amplitude and frequency are beyond the parameter range for which entrainment occurs. The existence of fine structure is treated along with frequency components at incommensurate frequencies that are not multiples of the power line harmonics.
