The Radio Signals of Uranus
There is not very much radio noise within the magnetosphere of Uranus. Signals are observed with much less power than observed at Saturn, but several times greater than observed at Earth. The signals are probably generated at height of more than the radius of Uranus near the night pole. The Voyager spacecraft observed the strongest signal when the nightside magnetic pole tipped toward the spacecraft.
