This paper presents a test of the luminosity correlation of the X-ray selected radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), based on a large sample constructed by combining our cross-identification of southern sky sources with the radio-loud sources in the northern hemisphere given by Brinkmann et al. (1995). All sources were detected both by the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and the radio surveys at 4.85 GHz. The broad band energy distribution confirms the presence of strong correlations between luminosities in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands which differ for quasars, seyferts, BL Lacs, and radio galaxies. The tight correlations between spectral indices αox and monochromatic luminosities at 5500 Å and 4.85 GHz are also shown.
