O. ; Schmidt, M. Abstract The present analysis deals with the low-resolution spectroscopy obtained for 85 quasars by means of the Hale multichannel spectrometer. The spectra are well approximated by power laws with spectral indices ranging from +0.3 to -2.5. There is no apparent correlation between the radio continuum properties and either the optical continuum or line properties, and there is no dependence of the continuum spectral indices on redshift or luminosity.
