To convert to an RFX1200, you need to:

- Cut the traces which FIL1
- Put a capacitor in C204, anything between about 50pF and 1000pF is
fine, size 0603
- Put the board on side A of a USRP, power it up, and reburn the EEPROM
using the command
    usrp/host/apps/burn-db-eeprom -A -f -t rfx1200_mimo_b

- When we do it here, we also change some of the final amp tuning
components if the power out is a little low.  This is not always
necessary, but sometimes gets another dB of extra power.
