Thanks for the international registration site. I have never done so much homework before making a purchase in my life! So. I could buy this thing from BC, have it shipped over to France and register it using the international registration website, and that would set it up in such a way that when activated, the SAR authorities in France would be the ones to be notified, as opposed to the NOAA guys, even though I bought the beacon in the US? In the interest of saving time, I'd like to have the French SAR people respond without having to have the message be routed first through the US. Can I do this by registering it on the international site? Thanks!

I am the ACR rep for Colorado. I just called my contact at ACR about your question. When you register it for Europe it will go through whatever system that France has setup with the EU. Now if you where to ever us it in the US I would re register here in the US. Or I would refill out the register form and under the notes section mention that you are going to be in the US during these dates. You can do this as many times as you want. Anytime that you have a MAJOR trip I would do this no matter what country you are going to. It does help with the speed at which they can deploy SAR. Hope this helps.
