The default range is set to 100000 (which is I believe 100,000 miles, so it reaches everywhere on the globe. You can reduce the distance the station broadcasts by lowering this figure in the radio.ini file (it's just a regular text file so it's easy for anyone to adjust). I think it's about 5,000 miles from Saigon to the international date line (where all radio broadcasts are cut off because of the way the gameworld works) so I reckon 5000 to 7000 is a good setting for it.

I'd still like to know what ranges would be reasonable settings for radio stations so that I could set distances for strong signals (a big country's national radio station), medium signals (a small country's national radio station) and weaker signals (local radio) so that I could select reasonable distances. I'd also like to know if the settings do indeed equate to miles or kilometers, and if they're miles, whether statute miles or nautical miles.
