The electrostatic instability in a magnetoplasma, ω>ωce, excited by a weak electron beam is found to be either convectively unstable (amplifying) or absolutely unstable (oscillating) depending upon effective plasma electron temperature and beam density. Measurements of the transition between the two types agree with calculations.
