...easiest transmission to receive is around 137 MHz, and to receive this signal a simple V-Dipole or more advanced QFH antenna can be used. It also transmits in the L-band, and a small 60cm+ dish can be used to receive it with motorized or hand tracking.
The video below is an archived live stream of the launch.
Prior Meteor M class satellites have typically been plagued with various issues, but so far the launch and deployment of M2-4 appears to have gone very smoothly. Reports are that the signal strength is excellent (much better than M2-3 with it's suspected antenna deployment fault) and images have been received clearly on both VHF and L-band.
TLE's and SatDump have been updated to support Meteor M2-4, so if you want to receive the satellite be sure to update to the latest code on Github.
Over on X, Scott Tilley has posted an image he received recently on both bands.
Meanwhile a nice 1700.0MHz pass from METEOR M2-4 as well. β¬οΈ pic.twitter.com/D9mYuryrhE β Scott Tilley πΊπ¦ (@coastal8049) March 3, 2024
