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. (437.478 MHz, 4 kbps GFSK)
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.
