Larry,
Take a look at this link:
You will see Z-Sat listed there.
This is a list maintained by JE9PEL and he add Z-Sat to his list one day after the rocket was launched. I am sure he is proud of Japan getting this done and he should be. His link is also listed below current Satellites on the AMSAT web page.
He does a great service by keeping this list updated for us.
It takes some time for the volunteers maintaining these websites to update the list. Also most of the satellites are know by a development name until they are launched and then they are given a new name.
The different modes listed may not be activated for some time as well.
The other delay is getting the tracking data to show up in the links for download. You have to manually add the data to a tracking program yourself until it is available.
If you feel you have heard a satellite on a different frequency keep checking occasionally. There may be a hormonic associated with the satellite which has not been reported. Be careful to sort out any emissions from your computer or switching
power supplies. These can fool you into thinking there is something there.
These are just my ideas and comments from years of experience. I hope you enjoy tracking the beacons.

Thanks for the info. Is there another website that shows all the satellites besides the AMSAT one as that is limited and z-sat is not listed
Thanks and 73

Z-Sat is CW Beacon only now, 20 to 25 WPM. I have not read any plans for Z-Sat to do anything else.
Has a nice signal. Frequency is 145.875 MHz. Starts out at about 145.877 and finishes at about 145.873 or so with Doppler.
I think they would like all the reports they can get in these early few days to establish conditions on bird.
Just copied it on a pass at my QTH.

Ok I will put my FTM100 on the 145.825 APRS I will listen for it and hope to capture it here in Manila PH area.

Oops, that is 825, not 875! Sorry about that. If the team needs any captures over India, let me know
Why was this frequency coordinated to be exactly on the APRS frequency? Will this also digipeat in the future?
discovered some front liners claiming the 145.875 but heard a weak CW is there voice on this one
Thanks and 73
