“Fundamental plane” of magnetar radio emissions
A magnetar is radio-loud if and only if:
Failed in one new source (Tong, Yuan & Liu 2013) “Low luminosity magnetars are more likely to have radio emissions”

Possible solutions
1. Accretion model for AXPs and SGRs2. Wind braking of magnetars:
a different magnetospheric structure

Problems of SGR 0418
1. B_mul>>B_dip?2. Burst-active at 10^6-10^7 yr?
Too many SGR in our Galaxy (Muno et al. 2008)3. What about XDINSs?

Another possibility (Tong & Xu 2012)
A normal magnetar Instead of a low-B magnetar

Why Lx so low?
Also transient magnetars, e.g., XTE J1810-197 and HBPSRsCorona model is not the full story!
