Deep ROSAT PSPC and HRI observations of the nuclear starburst , UV flat spectrum spiral NGC~6217 reveal a jet-like X-ray filament extending out 2 \aas@@fstack { \prime } 7 ( 18.8 kpc ) to the SW of the galaxy .
Radio images of NGC~6217 show an extent in the same direction , giving further evidence for a one-sided X-ray jet interpretation of this feature .
It ’ s X-ray spectrum is harder than that of NGC~6217 and the luminosity in the 0.5–2.0 keV band \sim 1.7 \cdot 10 ^ { 39 } erg s ^ { -1 } .
We compare our findings to parameters of other X-ray jets from other active galaxies .
We also give positions of a total of 91 X-ray sources detected in the field to a limiting 0.5–2.0 keV flux of \sim 2.2 \cdot 10 ^ { -15 } erg cm ^ { -2 } s ^ { -1 } and propose optical and radio identifications .
Some of these sources have been identified in the RIXOS program .
