1 Ohm Resistor 6

[aware]

Hi all,

I have some RF receivers that accidentally I broke one of the resistors they contain (see photo).
This seems to be 1 ohm 20% resistor (3 band - Brown Black Gold) and I tried to replace it with 1.2 ohms 5% (although the multimeter shows 2 Ohm...) with no luck.

May I please ask:
1) Is it so critical that it must be exactly 1 ohm AND 20%?
2) Shall I assume that maybe after I broke them, I affected them in a non-reversible way?
3) Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately no schematic or model. Only the photo or maybe some extra photos I can take if you suggest so and upload them here...

Also after some research, I strongly believe it's a 1uH value.

I ordered some rf chokes and wait for them. As soon as I get them I will try them to see what the result will be and keep you posted.

Thanks for all support
