DTUSat-2 at 2401.835 MHz. Object 40030. Sends out CW beacon every 30 seconds. No battery power so operates only in sunlight. Daylight passes are normally from 11:00 to 13:00 every day. Beacon can be a missing, intermittent, full or partial CW message. It has a good signal on 2.4 GHz. As Doppler is extreme, it's best viewed on a SDR waterfall. A picture of DTUSat-2's waterfall signal is on my QRZ page. It's a good signal to test your 2.4 GHz setup and tracking.
Most satellites on 2.4 GHz only turn on and down link their data when over the command station. You must be in command station's foot print to hear the signal.
