If I am seeing this correctly, the piece you are talking about is not a resistor at all, it is actually an inductor or coil. The two green things you guys are calling resistors are labeled L1 and L2. Standard practice in labelling circuit boards is to name resistors with an R, capacitors with a C, transistors with a Q, and inductors with an L.

Now, when L2 fries, it creats an open circuit in the reciever. By placing a resistor there, you have closed the circuit, alowing it to work somewhat normally again. The correct thing to do would be to find out what the value of the inductor is and replace it with the right part. It is color coded brown/red/silver. Normally four bands are used for color coding, so I'm not sure what the value of this coil really is. Silver generally indicates the tolerance, which would be 10% in this case. If I had to guess, I'd say that this is either a 100μH or a 12μH inductor.
