Over the past two decades, our understanding of turbulence in the solar wind and the outer corona has progressed significantly. Coupled with this have come many important developments in the theory of radiation transport in random media. While the importance of scattering of radio waves at meter wavelengths emitted by sources embedded in the solar corona has long been recognized, the formalism used to describe the scattering has not been brought up to date. In this paper I point out several developments which modify and extend our understanding of scattering of radio waves in the solar corona. Specifically, I show i) the importance of scattering of radio waves emitted by sources embedded in the solar corona extends to microwaves; ii) the potential importance of refractive scintillation at meter wavelengths. The practical consequences of these developments are briefly explored.
