When a resistor is called out as 500R, what does that mean? Does it just mean it's a 500ohm resistor?
Thanks in Advance!

That's correct, the reason for that is because the Greek letter "Omega" used to be used in place of the word "Ohm", but computer keyboards and typewriters don't have a key for that Greek letter, so the letter "r",or "R" is used as a substitute...
