The spectral evolution between 0.3 and 15 GHz of the extragalactic radio sources 0235+164 and 1611+343 (DA406) is presented. The data show two very different forms of behavior. For 0235+164 the variations over the entire frequency range are correlated and consistent with being intrinsic to the source, whereas for DA406 an extrinsic cause for the variability seems probable.
