N2  - Microquasars are Galactic X-ray binaries which show radio emission from relativistic outflows. Here we argue that the origins of radio emission from microquasars and compact extragalactic radio sources are similar. In particular, both can be explained qualitatively by a model in which shocks are propagating in the relativistic jets. The microquasar GRO J1655&#8211;40 is used to illustrate that the spectral evolution of its 1994 radio outburst can be explained by the growth phase of the generalised-shock model, similar to the case of the quasar 3C 273.
