Manual Range Input

Running TMO 2-5, RSRDC and OTC for RSRDC. Is there a way to manually input a range in the TDC so that it shows on the PK? Initially, When I first pick up a ship I can see the masts over the horizon and to get things started on the TDC I want to enter a range around 12K-15k yards (depending on ship size) and then update as target gets closer and I can use the stadimeter or the radar. I read the OTC pdf on using the radar but it looks like I'm limited to the max distance of 6200 yards on the range dial in periscope view. In real life radar contacts picked up beyond visual range had the radar range cranked into the TDC with the estimated speed and AOB based on tracking from radar. Thanks!
