[NLRS] DEMI 2304 transverter

Do any of you have one of the recent vintage Down East Microwave
2304 transverters?  If so, can you tell me if the front-end filtering
is tight enough to exclude reception in the 2400 MHz satellite
sub-band?

I'm seriously considering the addition of a 2304 transverter, at the
time (this Spring) when all the other antennas go up.  I was going to
use a modified MMDS downconverter for the Oscar-40 2.4 GHz downlink,
but I could simplify the cabling and switching quite a bit if the
2304 transverter could also hear well enough at 2400 MHz by simply
tuning my IF radio to 240 MHz instead of 144 MHz.  Then I wouldn't
need a second box just for hearing Oscar-40.

I'm guessing that the answer is probably NO, but the DEMI folks are
"out of the office" until February 18th, so I thought I'd try to tap
the brains of you guys in the meantime.
