X-ray observations of H0548-322 = PKS 0548-322 at energies from 0.15 keV to 24 keV with the HEAO A-2 experiment are reported. The spectrum shows a distinct break in slope near 2 keV, with the indices of power-law energy spectra of 2.2 below and 0.3 above this break. A synchrotron self-Compton model is consistent with radio, optical, and all X-ray data, although a modified synchrotron self-Compton model with added thermal origin for the low-energy X-ray spectrum is also plausible.
