Not nearly as simple as that. DC resistance is one thing and what may look good on an ohm meter may be totally unacceptable to RF. My Triplett 630-PLK meter got a workout that day for sure. Analog meters are far better for searching issues like that than digital meters. I have both. I have been into radio for about 38 years and worked in the broadcast industry doing service work for 22 years and that was the first time I ever saw something as odd as that. Guys I talked to said the same thing and everyone thought it should have worked better with the trunk down as the figured it would have a better ground thru the lock but this was just the opposite.
