It is shown that the power of radio emission of spiral members of double galaxies depends on their projected distances. For example, the members of pairs with projected distances lower than 10 kpc are 2–2.5 times more powerful than members of pairs with distances larger than 50 kpc. Since 90% of “interacting” spiral galaxies belong to pairs with separations smaller than 50 kpc this means that the members of interacting pairs are more powerful radio emitters than the components of non-interacting pairs.
