Comparison of our templates with the measurements of high redshift galaxies by Kovács et al. (2006). The templates and the measurements have all been normalized near 260 μm, close to the rest wavelength for the 850 μm measurements of Kovács et al. (2006). There is substantial scatter in the resulting radio fluxes for the templates but even more for the radio fluxes of the high redshift galaxies. The latter are perhaps increased significantly be measurement errors (not all of which are captured in the nominal errors, as demonstrated by the results of independent reductions; Kovács et al. 2006). Nonetheless, the local templates are very representative of the behavior of those at high redshift.
