Default Enhancement to change range penalties

GURPS has three sets of range penalties to use with various advantages and spells.

-1 for every hex.

The Speed/Range Table using a logarithmic function.

Long Distance modifiers used by Telesend (not sure what other advantages would use those)

How to work out the modifier cost to change what method applies to an enhancement or limitation?

This is the Long-Range enhancement, from pp. 108-9 of GURPS Powers. It has four categories of range penalties: -1/hex, Speed/Range table, Long-Distance modifiers (p. B241) and no range modifiers at all.

I don't see this on P112, where is touch mentioned in association with Short-Range?
