We describe models which try to account for the incidence of quasar radio emission in terms of two populations. One is effectively radio quiet, with radio powers P2.7 ≤ 1022 WHz−1 sr−1 characteristic of type I Seyferts. These are presumed to lie in spiral host galaxies. The other population is the classical radio-loud quasars with P2.7 ≥ 1024 WHz−1 sr−1. Apparent correlation of radio and optical powers can arise without any real effect being present because the two populations in general have separately-evolving luminosity functions.
