Maximum contact range?

What is the maximum allowable number for the following entry in the Contact.CFG:

Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=XXXXX

I don't know. I've set it to a couple of hundred kilometers. (just checked: 750 km personal modification) Afaik, it's to do with map-contact reports, you know those icons that suddenly appear.

But just try some absurd number and see if it crashes the game.

If you go to my GameFront page (link above my sig) and download the GWX SpySat mod, then open up the Contacts CFG you'll find the optimal parameters.

Jim, I tried installing the Spysat mod (I was in port and rolledback SH3 Commander) but when I restarted the game I got an error message. Is there a mod order issue, perhaps? When I added Spysat JSGME gave the following message:
"Campaign_RND.mis" has already been altered by the "GWX - Merged Campaign" mod.

here's my mod order:

GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Alternative Flotillas
