Good question. I don't know the answer. My guess is it's completely dependent on where the single merchant spawns, and therefore random. My best feel on this is to set "Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts" to 20 km. You won't get many reports, but even without the expanded visual sighting distance, you can pick it up (if you're lucky!) on the hydrophone, and I'd say that's close enough.
