Radar detectors only give you a warning if they are picking up a signal, but it's a good bet the Allies are using aircraft-fitted radar when it become available..sadly they don't give you the range.

The Germans were always behind on active radar and the U-Boat with it's trademark low-lying silhouette made a poor platform to boot. Interference with the radar signal by the ocean surface meant that ships were often visually detected before being picked up on radar.
