Same test setup as for send-20100909. Board 100908-A was modified to have
a 220 nH inductor in the C7 position, instead of a 0R resistor.

100813-red -> 100908-B 255, -90 255, -86 +4 dB
100908-B -> 100813-red 255, -87 255, -84 +3 dB
(1) Data from send-20100909
(2) Only 100908-A was modified. Changes in the measurements with
100908-B show inaccuracies of the test setup.
Conclusion
----------
The differences observed are the same for the modified 100908-A board
and the unmodified 100908-B board. The inductor therefore does not seem
to have a significant effect on transceiver performance.
