Unfortunately, there is no country that allows the use of 2.3 GHz for amateur satellites and only one country in the footprint of the satellite would have to object.

Ok granted 2.40 GHz to 2.45 GHz has a high noise floor and will get worse. So this will be a good band for uplinking.
I know it's not a satellite allocation but what about a downlink around 2310 ~ 2390? Or maybe 2300 ~ 2302? I also know that some countries have lost access to 2.302 GHz to 2.4 GHz (VK is one) but as a downlink no one is stopping us from listening there.
Or must a satellite transmitters be compliant with all international allocations? Or maybe 2300 ~ 2302 would upset to many other users?
