Radio emission mechanisms for pulsars are reviewed with emphasis on five possible sites for the emission: the pair production front (PPF), two regions in the relativistically outflowing plasma (denoted ROP1 and ROP2) between the PPF and the light cylinder (LC), and two sited near the LC. Several maser emission mechanism are viable for ROP1, where radius-to-frequency mapping applies. Suggested Schott radiation from outside the LC is discussed critically.
