Why would you expect it to generate anything else? These sorts of
objects are rotating at high speed, which modulates the amplitude we
receive. While there are probably other types of modulation as well, the
amplitude variation is the dominant effect. Of course, magnetars are
emitting mainly hard x-rays. I don't know that there's enough long
wavelength energy to detect on any kind of ordinary radio.
