This all depends on how SH3 calculates the scope detection.
If SH3 works on a 0% chance direct to 100% chance of spotting the scope (i.e. the AI never spots a scope over a certain distance, and always spots it under that distance) then the scope detection range needs to be low, no more than 1000m. Otherwise we'll have destroyers impossibly spotting scopes from 3 kilometers away!
If SH3 works on a rising percentage scale, e.g. at 2000m or more the AI will never spot the scope, at 1000m or more it will always spot the scope, and at ranges from 1000-2000m the AI has a percentage chance of spotting the scope (e.g. 10% chance at 1900m, 20% chance at 1800m, 30% chance at 1700m and so on) then the value Teddy Bar is talking about is either the highest or lowest value of the detection ranges.
In this case, the value should either be 2000m (highest) or 1000m (lowest).
