The Falcon Heavy launch was designated 19-036 in NORAD elements, and there were more than 20 satellites from that one launch (designated by a final letter). Watching when IGates receive the beacons, my wild-ass guess is PSAT2 is 19-036U, but it could be R, S, or T, those are still pretty close together. Here is the latest TLE for 19036U

1 44357U 19036U   19178.41227610  .00060436  00000-0  94415-3 0  9996
2 44357  28.5325 187.1376 0389997 127.0282 350.5130 14.97361557   296

NORAD is releasing new keps for these several times a day as they refine them, so even if this is the right bird expect these to be worthless in a couple days.
