    A well known property of the gamma -ray sources detected by Cos-B in the 1970s, by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory in the 1990s, and recently by the Fermi observations is the presence of radio counterparts, particularly for those associated with extragalactic objects. This observational evidence is the basis of the radio- gamma -ray connection established for the class of active galactic nuclei known as blazars. We also described the main properties of the catalog listing 28,358 radio sources and their log N-log S distributions. Finally, a comparison with the Green Bank 6 cm radio source catalog was performed to investigate the spectral shape of the low-frequency flat-spectrum radio sources at higher frequencies.
