All,
Here is a strategy I used on new launches--since I don't know which object is which bird, I make multiple frequency entries for each new object, so I can at least QSY during the pass if I want to try and listen for another one. Here is what I'm using to listen to RAX-2 and M-cubed (which I haven't heard here yet...). You could always add a third or fourth line for each bird, if you wanted to add Aubiesat-1 and E1P.

Carl,
James Cutler "is" RAX-2...he's the faculty advisor to the students who built it.
The website is most certainly behind, because we are just now getting KEPS via SpaceTrack.
RAX-2 is probably one of the objects C, D, E, F, G listed below--but most likely NOT A, B, or H.
Here they are again--grabbed just now:

None of these are RAX-2. At least, not if the RAX-2 website is right. There are people tracking RAX-2, so would you please share the keps you are using?
Thanks,
