It can modulate the sound of an FM radio *onto* its ultrasonic signal,
but it does not modulate the sound *into* an FM radio signal.  And
apparently the ultrasonic signal is amplitude modulated rather than
frequency modulated.

See my earlier article in the thread and the links there for much more
info.
