Yes, they allow only a scan of the surrounding sectors. However, keep in mind a sector is 10 light-years in SE:IV, which definitively qualifies as long range in my book.
No... a sector is one square on the system map. It is 1/12th the width of a system. The squares on the galaxy map are not sectors, they are just squares. A sector is nowhere near 10 light years.
