  XTE J1701-462 is a neutron star low mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) discovered in
2006 as the first system to demonstrate unambiguously that the `Atoll' and `Z'
classes of accreting neutron stars are separated by accretion rate. Radio
observations during the 2006/7 outburst provided evidence for the formation of
a relativistic jet, as now expected for all accreting neutron star and black
hole X-ray binaries at high accretion rates. The source entered a new outburst
in 2022, and we report 29 observations made with the MeerKAT radio telescope.
The first radio detection was on the 16th September 2022, we continued
detecting the source until mid-December 2022. Thereafter, establishing radio
upper limits till 25 March 2023. We present the radio analysis alongside
analysis of contemporaneous X-ray observations from MAXI. The radio light curve
shows evidence for at least three flare-like events over the first hundred
days, the most luminous of which has an associated minimum energy of
$1\times10^{38}$ erg. We provide a detailed comparison with the 2006/7
outburst, and demonstrate that we detected radio emission from the source for
considerably longer in the more recent outburst, although this is probably a
function of sampling. We further constrain the radio emission from the source
to have a polarisation of less than 9% at the time of 2022 IXPE detection of
X-ray polarisation. Finally, we place the source in the radio -- X-ray plane,
demonstrating that when detected in radio it sits in a comparable region of
parameter space to the other Z-sources.
