We present results of a survey of nonflare radio and X-ray properties of dM/dMe stars. This survey was obtained during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and is accompanied by mostly simultaneous VLA observations. We find that the X-ray and radio luminosities are correlated over three orders of magnitude, L(R) is proportional to L(X), irrespective of spectral type. This result improves if strictly simultaneous observations are considered. This correlation points to a physical relation between the particle populations responsible for the two emissions.
