You sure that "resister" isn't a "diode"? Crushing a component will play
havoc if you send the radio back for repairs!

Hummm, probably is a diode...I didn't pay that close attention to the
part.
If you crush the part, or desolder, it's gone either way. For some
with sloppy soldering skills, crushing might be the preferred method.
But if you desolder, you still have the part. MK
