Yep, I had done it to my original 8R.  When I got it back from Yaesu 
after the 8DR upgrade, they put the resistor back :)

I forgot about this entirely until just now.  I had tried it once upon a 
time and didn't get it to work.

If, however, it does, then maybe we could use that to figure out where 
(if at all) it's triggered in the memory.  The string you type in 
(AH029) is, by the way, the model identifier that the PC and radio 
exchange during a clone.  So, we should know it for other radios as 
well, such as the VX3.  Might be worth a shot.
