Abstract
First determination of dynamic spectra of the Stokes parameters for the AKR are reported. Frequent appearance of the L-O mode of AKR sometimes as inte nse as the R-X one, and sporadically even more intense than that was observ ed in the dayside magnetosphere. Existence of dayside sources of AKR is inf erred from discussion of their visibility from the s/c orbiting on the days ide, taking into account a limited opening angle of the AKR emission cone. The domination of the R-X wave mode is confirmed for the nightside observat ions.
