We apply the bulk relativistic model for radio jets at large distances from the nucleus (Coletti et al. astro-ph/0008021 and Tavecchio et al. astro-ph/0007441) to knots in the jet of 3C 273. We consider methods to differentiate between X-ray synchrotron and X-ray inverse Compton processes. We also discuss some of the ramifications of the beaming model: the segment of the electron energy spectrum responsible for the emission and the implied length of the jet. Work at SAO has been partially supported by NASA contract NAS8-39073.
