(Without looking up existing sensor ranges...)
It'd be easier to remember if you used Nx24 inches, and it
would have only a minor effect on active sensor ranges:
Passive:     range 24" (1x)
Basic:	     range 48" (2x) [1d6]
Enhanced:    range 48" (2x) [2d6], range 72" (3x) [1d6]
Superior:    range 48" (2x) [3d6], range 72" (3x) [2d6], range 96" (4x)
[1d6]
Or Passive could remain at 36" (1.5x), while the others became Nx24.
