A quote from user Dirk on the U-boat.net forums...

"Nauen was a Long-wave radio station for communication with the submarines 25 km west of Berlin. It operated on 2 frequencies (Nauen I and Nauen II) 16,55 and 23,08 kHz. This was in use for morse code communication but not for navigation.
The signals could be received down to about 22 m depth submerged. Station Nauen was replaced by the Goliath station later and still today there is a radio station operating the "Deutsche Welle"

The 2.3 table figures are for the Goliath transmitter which probably are outside the scope of this game as it ends in '43 but going by what this post says the Nauen signal was indeed available down to about 22m in the period covered by SH5.

So you should probably allow reception but no sending at that depth unless a schnorkel is fitted in 1943+ then sending and reception could be allowed for suitably equipped boats.
