couldn't be a "resistor," with 0 ohms, that'd be a conductor of 1 mho, hmm?
So, has to be some kind of just connector which connects 2 poles which when
disconnected is, working, for opening up the rig. :)

Subject: Re: A short resistor? RE: ts2000 question
Well, I suppose we could call it anything we want: jumper, shorting
doo-hickey, or whatever. My understanding is that while it resembles
other resistors on the board, it's composition has no resistance. I've
heard of more than one person crushing it with needle nose pliers to remove
it.
Not sure if Kenwood's schematic refers to it as a resistor, or jumper, but
a lot of people who have done the mod refer to it as a resistor, based on
appearance.
Maybe in production it was just easier to do it this way instead of a
shorting wire.
If a resistor with no resistance falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
