No. Our sheet metal fabricator was sick for a week, and he didn't get a 
tool drawing to the tool maker in time (for adding a punched recess to 
the KRX3 bottom shield). By the time he discovered this -- and the 
toolmaker got back from *his* vacation -- the tool was two weeks past 
due. I just heard on Friday that the tool is due on Tuesday, which 
means the first batch of subreceivers will go out late next week. (Eric 
was too busy with the recent firmware release to update the status 
page, but I assume he'll be doing this on Monday.)

Lyle and I have been taking advantage of the delay in sheet metal to 
get farther along with subreceiver firmware. I've been doing a lot of 
testing. I'm pretty sure I'm biased, but I can state unequivocally that 
having a subreceiver in your K3 is extremely cool  :)
