  • ACC-188 USB Synchronous Serial Radio Adapter (from Sealevel Systems, Inc.)Liberty, SC 29657 USA 864-843-4343 www.sealevel.com The ACC-188 USB synchronous serial adapter and free software from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) upgrades with the capability to send and receive IP data such as email, text messages, GPS maps, images, and coordinates. The ACC-188 operates in conjunction with standard PDA-184 software developed by and available from DISA. The PDA-184 software provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows radio users to transmit and receive a variety of data types at much higher speeds than is possible with comparable, proprietary solutions. A key advantage of the ACC-188 is that it enables interoperability among the various radio brands and used by the defense community. The ACC-188 is compatible with any that has a synchronous communication port using MIL-STD-188-184. This includes the most prevalent brands and models: Raytheon AN/PSC-5D and ARC-231; Harris AN/PRC-117F and AN/PRC-150; Thales AN/PRC-148; Rockwell Collins ARC-210; Motorola LST-5B and LST-5C. The PDA-184 software is government-developed, governmentowned by DISA and includes these features:
  • Saves thousands of dollars per radio compared to upgrading hardware and purchasing expensive proprietary software
  • Interoperable (send/receive data with different radio models and brands)
  • Implements MIL-STD-188-184 Data
  • High-speed data throughput
  • Easy-to-use -based GUI
