The Radar Range Finder, and the Laser Sensors have no range bands or range in km linked to them since they are passive systems that respond to the active emissions of Radar, and LADAR. The maximum range in MT for Radar and Ladar is Far Orbit or 500,000 km which equals about 1.67 light seconds

MT Consolidated Errata v2.21 added Radio Direction Finders that had been omitted from MT Referee's Manual and in my opinion should also be included to the Passive Energy equation.  Radio communicators have a maximum range band of System or 1,000 AU which is about 499,005 light-seconds. Laser communicators have a low probably of being be picked up by the laser sensors, but there is a chance and has the same maximum range as a radio. I'm not sure if a laser sensor can pick up a maser, but I feel pretty there is nothing that will pick up a meson communicator except another meson communicator.

Again thank you for your time, suggestions, and help.
