Radio Active is an album released by Pat Travers on Polydor Records in 1981. Radio Active was Pat Travers' first release after the highly successful Crash and Burn. However, Pat Thrall and Tommy Aldridge had already left the band. Travers and Cowling forged on with former Blackjack drummer Sandy Gennaro, but the album barely made it into the Top 40.[which?] It was quite different from Travers' previous work, with more emphasis on keyboards than heavy guitars. Disappointed with the lack of sales, Polygram dropped Travers from their roster. Travers' successfully sued Polydor for breach of contract which he won which allowed him to record two future albums on the label.

Radio Active was recorded at Bee Jay Recording Studios in Orlando, Florida, from October 1980 to February 1981.
