Test signal is in analog system so your device Incompatible to lock analog signal..just wait until it enters full commercial service
 
For several hours now, two test carriers have been turned on, frequencies 11334 V and 11411 V.

There's a better signal at this moment on the two carriers, 11334 V and 11411 V, if anyone wants to test with their antenna.
Weak signal on 11297 V.

The signals are not stable; they continuously go up and down in power.

I'm attaching a video:
 
Israel's Dror-1 satellite reaches orbit 36,000 km. above Earth, begins missionThe satellite’s first orbiting of Earth will take only 30 hours. After that, it will slow down and orbit Earth five times over a period of two weeks.

Satellite's first orbit of Earth will only take 30 hoursThe satellite’s first orbiting of Earth will take only 30 hours. After that, it will slow down and orbit Earth five times over a period of two weeks. The satellite travels at a speed of 3 km. per second.

Its size is 17.8 meters by 2.8 meters, and it weighs 4.5 tons. It also contains 70 video cameras and is made up of 28,000 nails.

IAI has led Israel’s space program since the 1980s, beginning with the launch of its first observation satellite, Ofek 1. Since then, the company has developed and launched additional communications and observation satellites.

According to the IAI, the Dror 1 satellite will serve Israel’s communication needs for the coming years. Now that it is in orbit, engineers will begin conducting tests to ensure its functionality.

Two beautiful spikes, like obelisks, are now present at 11334 V and 11411 V, and at 11300 V, I can no longer find any signal in my area.

The frequency 11383 H 23073 DVB-S2/QPSK 1/2 has been active for a few hours, perhaps coming from Dror-1. It is a copy of the frequency 11134 H, present on Amos 3 (they are data services).

11402 H, 27000, 3/4, 32APSK is the first time I've seen it.
Could it be DROR 1? :unsure
(The two spikes on the vertical have been left.)

A difference of 250 MHz, so the 14.0...14.25 GHz uplink band of Amos 3 10.95...11.2 GHz (according your frequency plan), is also used for the Dror-1 11.2...11.45 GHz downlink band.
 
11402 H is off; instead, the copy from 11133 H,23068 has reappeared. It may also be in S2X.

From the checks I have carried out, the signals in the range 11370-11450 MHz come from Dror-1.

On the frequency 11440 H every now and then, a test carrier is turned on.
