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.
