Abstract
The quiescent microwave flux we expect from hot stellar coronae, as predicted from analogy with the Sun and from X-ray derived temperatures and densities, is about 10 times smaller than the observed fluxes for many dMe stars observed with the VLA. The implications of these high observed fluxes to the coronal parameters of magnetic field strength, temperature, and source size are discussed, and observations are suggested that potentially allow a choice among the several possibilities.
