You can enter a manual range by dragging the bug on the TDC wheel, unfortunately it has a limit of ~1200 yards when setting manually.

The PK doesn't need to be turned off and on or reset between changing targets and entering new target data neccisarily BUT BE AWARE the data you enter is going to be evolved from the second you enter it.

So maybe the old data was:
Bearing 30 degrees
Range 300 yards
AOB 90 Right
Speed 21 kts

And the new data is:
Bearing 0 degrees
Range 1000 yards
AOB 0 degrees
Speed 2 kts

The second you update the bearing/range, the PK will try to evolve your data according to its picture in the middle of your update process. So it'll think briefly that the target is ahead of you, abeam, and going very fast to the right, screwing up the nice correct data you inputted before you update the AOB and Speed.
