Just my $.02:

Through experimentation I've learned that escorts will 'discover' you, no matter what, at higher TC than at 1X.

For instance, I've been running silent at 40 meters, and I've crept 2 kilometers away. Escorts are still circling where I'd been. I can bump up to 2X, and usually even 4X, and be 'safe'. If I bump TC up to 8X, though, within a minute I have every escort homing in to my new position.

I've experimented with TC when escorts have been unaware of me, too. My best advice from what I've learned is to keep TC down as low as possible once you're within 5 kilometers of the closest escort, and I'd recommend no higher than 1X at that point.

Happy hunting!
