A conservative explanation of the superluminal flat spectrum radio source 3C279, for which flare like activity has been reported from the radio to the gamma ray regime, is presented. The explanation is based upon the theory of diffusive shock acceleration of electronics and protons and analytic treatment of the coupled transport equations for proton secondary particles (photons, electrons, positrons). The salient feature of the resulting physical picture of the emission during outbursts is that the electrons produce synchrotron continuum emission below and the protons initiate an electromagnetic cascade dominating X and gamma ray emission. Rosat observations are thus important and reasons for this are addressed.
