The location of the soft gamma repeater SGR1900+14 was recently reduced to two ~5 arcmin^2 alternate error boxes by the network synthesis method. We have used the ROSAT High Resolution Imager to observe the error box which is closest to the supernova remnant G42.8+0.6. A quiescent, steady, point X-ray source was found at alpha(2000) = 19h 07m 14.15s, delta(2000) = 9 deg 19' 19.06" whose unabsorbed flux is 3E-12 erg cm^(-2) s^(-1). Its position is also consistent with a peculiar double infrared source. We have also examined this region using the VLA, and have obtained upper limits to the extreme ultraviolet flux of this object using the EUVE spacecraft.
