Long range contact and medium range both values set in the options so you can toggle between say 600km while in the open ocean and 100km or something while closer to shore.
I was unable to get the standimeter working properly. Could we replace the dial with a text box? I was never once able to get an accurate value for the mast height entered using the dial. I often couldn't get closer than 1-1.5m from the value.
Ship contact information seemed to lag with the message box. Like I'd get a hydrophone contact line first. Then a voice confirmation of the contact but it wasn't till minutes later, often a new contact, that the messages would appear in the message box. Not sure if this is mod related or what, but it was odd.

I've made some changes in v2.3.0 regarding some of these criticisms.
- a new user option was added that, when enabled, causes all incoming radio contact reports to be clipped to the distance specified by MaxRadioContactRange (RadioContactReportsAlwaysClipped).
- MaxRadioContactRange now is in km not meters for the value in the options file. The default value is now 250 (250km)
- the +- and text associated with MaxRadioContactRange now make changes in km instead of meters. Clicking just the +- changes the value +- 1 (1000 meters or 1km). Holding down shift and clicking +- changes the value by 10 (10,000 meters or 10km). Holding down shift and alt and clicking +- changes the value by 100 (100,000 meters or 100km). The max distance you can specify is now 9999 (9,999,000 meters or 9,999km)
Replacing the mast height dial with something else is something I'm currently working on......
The messagebox 'issue' I'll look into.
