Hi All --

Almost in time for the holiday season, we have a new time-nuts stocking
stuffer in the TAPR store.

The TADD-3 Mini is a four output PPS or other pulse distribution amp
available with either SMA or BNC output connectors.  The input is SMA
for both versions.  It comes with surface mount parts installed, so you
just need to solder the included connectors and headers.

The Mini is smaller than the original TADD-3 (2.5 x 3 inches for SMA;
2.5 x 3.75 inches for BNC).  It lacks some of the full-sized version's
versatility, but it's also less expensive -- $49 for SMA and $65 for BNC
version (BNC connectors have become much more expensive lately; that
will soon affect the price of other TAPR products that use BNCs).

One nifty feature is that the boards can be easily stacked to provide 8
or more outputs.  You can even stack BNC and SMA boards together.

The TADD-3 Mini is available now.  Here's the web page, which has a link
to the assembly/use manual:
