Abstract
Observations of the X-ray burster SLX 1732-304 in the globular cluster Terz an 1 with the PCA/RXTE instrument in April 1997 are presented. The source w as in a low state; its flux in the standard X-ray band was half the flux re corded by the ART-P/Granat telescope in 1990 also during its low state. At the same time, its spectrum was softer than the ART-P spectrum; it was well described by a power law with a photon index of 2.3 without any evidence o f a high-energy cutoff.
