The 1st-gen Zero had the same resonance cavity antenna on-board,[1][2] but it had a nicer design for the external antenna, namely a 0-Ohms(?) resistor that could be desoldered and resoldered at an angle (and be reverted if need be),[3] rather than crudely cutting the trace.

- itsbenweeks 5y agoI'm curious if you could desolder and use one of the resistors further down the trace to avoid having to scrape off the mask.
