This is the second in a series of papers presenting an analytical model for evolution FRII radio sources. In this paper we evaluate expected emission from source incorporating energy-loss processes relativistic electrons. By combining these results with our earlier dynamical calculate evolutionary tracks through power-linear size diagram. These are good agreement observed distribution sources The effects different forms magnetic field cocoon, redshift source, environment and defining parameters jet investigated. found to be insensitive assumed form evolution. Some evidence against protons as major constituent material also found.
