Aside from the Realistic Contacts mod, the range for displayed radio contacts is rather low. Iirc 250km by default.
If you change the values in Silenthunter3\Data\Cfg\Contacts.cfg then you can increase the range around you where they can be shown. If something is actually there, and the randomizer-God is liking you.

As BigWalleye wrote earlier. The hydrorange is only a little bigger than 30 km. So it is still a small circle in that big ocean. It helps to dive, but don't expect garunteed detections. And visual range halve of that if the 16km mod is used. Even if the TC drops with a stutter then in is only being loaded for rendering by the game. It might still be out of visual range. The hydrophone should be able to detect it if you listen yourself. But with your mods that may vary. (I am not familiar with most of them)
