Does it merely increase the can distance for a basic scan (to show the security level) or does it do anything else - specifically, increase the cloning range?

I know it increases the basic scan function range, but cloning distance isn't mentioned.
The top two results of the forum search I linked asked the same questions.
And they still don't tell me whether the cloning distance is increased.
I you haven't tried it and don't know from experience, Then I'd like to hear from someone who uses this mod.
Cheers.
They do, and the answer is no.
No. They only mention basic scan time/distance. That doesn't mean that other things are/aren't affected.
Are you using this mod?

I use Enhanced Tracking on one of my Mav suits and no, it doesn't increase the range of the clone scanner.
Enhanced Tracking mod for suits?
Just wondering, does the enhanced tracking mod let you see previously marked targets facing direction and alert status in a larger radius without line of sight?
Thank you.
It increases the visual range for scanning (identification actually) from 50m to 100m and it makes it instant (instead of 1s timer)
No effect on tools range (cloning for example)
So much wishful thinking on that mod though. What part of Suit's basic scan can be confused for Profile Cloner? 
Well, the description didn't say if it would give my ship extended jump range. Maybe it does?So much wishful thinking on that mod though. What part of Suit's basic scan can be confused for Profile Cloner?
I just thought "nah! There must be more to it than that. It can't only do that". Hence the question.So much wishful thinking on that mod though. What part of Suit's basic scan can be confused for Profile Cloner?
Resolving a target from 100m instead of 50n is quite a sub-minor upgrade... and it could be only of a really small degreee of usefulness maybe in assassination missions.
Even less than small degree... for example in the case of assassination missions i close in the srv and i scan the personnel from hundreds of meters. then i mark the target's area and the i close by.
Enhanced tracking is not really needed
Probably useful in covert operations as it allows you to quickly tag NPCs, especially though a winding you need to jump just to see in.
Well, i have it on one of my mavericks - and i consider that suit a waste... not a total loss, but you get the point
I bought a suit with it just to test it, it's not terrible, there are just better mods. I don't mind everything insta-resolving as I look at it and it would certainly save time for logging guards/personnel on covert jobs.
It was one of the first mods I added to my mave, because back in the early days I saw a vid and was impressed.
Used it to single out the sharpshooters to kill first.
But after G5'ing my Mave which can now resist 2-3 Exec hits before I die, it's really not needed that much.
Still the quick resolve and higher range is nice, especially if you go the stealth approach and want to "mark" all targets that could scan you.
So while it's not the best mod out there, if we could remove them I'd propably still keep it.
