Radio emission from the classic magnetic early-type stars, the Ap/Bp stars, has been studied since 1985 and its general characteristics and nature seems fairly well understood, e.g., that they can be quite radio-bright and that the dominant emission mechanism is gyrosynchrotron emission. The X-ray emission properties of this stellar class have been harder to pin down, primarily because they are not particularly bright in X-rays, making it difficult to discriminate intrinsic from external emission, e.g., from low-mass coronal companions. With the recent discovery that weaker but still significant magnetic fields are present in many 'normal' early-type stars, it seems timely to re-explore the degree of dependence of the emission in these energy bands on their magnetic fields, as the latter vary over 2-3 orders of magnitude.
