L1 should parallel resonate, at the IF frequency, with the internal
10pF capacitor plus any extra parasitic layout capacitance.

R1 and R2 are bias resistors that set the bias current for the buffer
amplifier. The value recommended is 510 W, each. Higher values
will decrease the current consumption but also decrease the output
level at which voltage clipping begins to occur. At lower IF
frequencies, where the internal 10 pF capacitor does not roll off the
conversion gain, L1 may be eliminated.
C1 is a blocking capacitor, in case the IF filter's input is not an open
circuit at DC.
