In this paper we present an account of a theory of pulsar radio emission. The emission mechanism is via a maser amplification process. This theory avoids the difficulty of coherent plasma emission, that the bandwidth of radiation must be less than 1/2 λ. The high brightness radio temperature and the insensitivity of pulsar radio flux to pulsar periods can be easily accounted for.
