I am pretty sure that higher command would set up packs of 3 sometimes more boats having the highest ranking CO being the pack commander and they did contact each other because they would split up a patrol area to get better coverage and then report the convoy to the other boats who would be with in 100 or nms or so of the other boats.

So they did have to use radio comms or some form of long range comms it was a risk obviously but they did it seen it mentioned in several books they sent highly brief highly coded messages they cant possibly have worked together with out having some way of letting the others know a convoy was spotted.It has been a while but I recall in one of the books it mentioned that they sent brief coded reports as to the lot action of a convoy or an order to meet somewhere and discuss strategies in detail.
