CanX-2 never had a 70cm beacon. An earlier design for the satellite include a 2m CW beacon, but this was descoped from the final design. Its 70cm transmitter has not been turned on yet, and the satellite does not send any uncommanded beacon packets.
CanX-2 satellite is presently operating well though its S-Band downlink, which we have coordinated a frequency in the Space Research Service Band around 2.2GHz. Due to power limitations only one downlink will be active during a pass over our ground station in Toronto, Canada.

Just near the end of the SEEDS pass i copy another doppler affected CW signal. The short CW transmission start with XIV and strings of numbers. I think it is CAN X but i don't get a lot of details on their web site.
Signal was quite load to interfere with SEEDS signal?
