Thanks for the explanation. I'd guessed it was compression, but wondered
if I needed to uncompress it, or if the loader would take care of it.

I was feeling a bit more gung ho than you, saying as I figured my Radio
was a brick anyway. So I gave it a shot, and it didn't even load, funny
enough. I also tried another similar Atheros firmware I found on a
Kindle hacking website that someone had extracted from their Kindle. It
was also a .z77 file. And it also wouldn't load.
