  We investigate the 1.4 GHz radio properties of 92 nearby (z<0.05) ultra hard
X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the Swift Burst Alert
Telescope (BAT) sample. Through the ultra hard X-ray selection we minimise the
biases against obscured or Compton-thick AGN as well as confusion with emission
derived from star formation that typically affect AGN samples selected from the
UV, optical and infrared wavelengths. We find that all the objects in our
sample of nearby, ultra-hard X-ray selected AGN are radio quiet; 83\% of the
objects are classed as high-excitation galaxies (HEGs) and 17\% as
low-excitation galaxies (LEGs). While these low-z BAT sources follow the
radio--far-infrared correlation in a similar fashion to star forming galaxies,
our analysis finds that there is still significant AGN contribution in the
observed radio emission from these radio quiet AGN. In fact, the majority of
our BAT sample occupy the same X-ray--radio fundamental plane as have been
observed in other samples, which include radio loud AGN --- evidence that the
observed radio emission (albeit weak) is connected to the AGN accretion
mechanism, rather than star formation.
