I take it this thing can be used in Europe--does anything have to be done in terms of using a modified signal, or anything like that?

The ACR Terrafix and Microfix will work in any country on earth without the user having to do anything. The signal is monitored by the US SAR Coordination Center which has 60 unmanned ground stations positioned around the world. There is no place on earth that this PLB will not work. Because it uses the COSPAS SARSAT Satellite System (owned by 4 countries; US, France, Soviet Union, and Canada) which has a series of 10 satellites and the GPS satellite system you are assured that you will be found. The only concern should be the SAR organization in the particular country you will be visiting. Anywhere in Europe you will be more than ok in this regard.
