XW2 predictions are available on http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/predict/index.php
For the moment, I arbitrarily picked object 40902 to represent the entire fleet of 6 spacecraft. As the individual spacecraft are identified and drift away from each other along the orbital track, the list will expand to list each one.

Interestingly enough, AmsatDroidFree can pick up XW-2 to its list of satellites when you update keps from AMSAT.
Yet when you download nasa.all from AMSAT within SatPC32, XW-2 is nowhere to be found.
I assume they are separate files driving the web prediction tool and SatPC32.

Clayton,
The are probably using the nasabare.txt file, which has it listed.

nasa.all is an archive of the weekly bulletin. The online prediction tool is driven by nasabare.txt, which is updated as needed to address dynamic situations, e.g. ISS maneuvers and new launches.
