Abstract: We report on our Chandra Cycle 9 program to observe half of the 60 as yet unobserved 3C radio sources at z<0.3 for 8 ksec each. Here we present the X-ray analyses of the first 30 AO-9 sources. We compare these Chandra observations with VLA radio maps and HST images, to study the absorption of nuclear regions and, when possible, to investigate the emission of their extended regions as jets and hotspots.
