The directional scanner has a maximum range of around 14 AU. This is easily achieved by typing a lot of 9s in the range field, since it is measured in km. A common tactic to pinpoint objects with the Directional Scanner is to first narrow down the angle and then decrease the range successively, this by subtracting a lot of km(1 AU ~= 150,000,000km).
I propose that range on the scanner should be determined by a slider, graded if you like. Or at least be able to toggle input between km and AU.
I don't mind scanning being complicated, but entering values up to 14 AU in km is bad UI.

I'd rather just have the range input box be in AU, TBH.

Yes, range in AU would be nice...

Why not have both? A slider and a manual range entry?

Though switching the scanner input to AU from KM could be a more productive thread

It's got to be both. I often use my directional scanner with values that are far outside the range of an AU.

Keep the text input box, add a slider with tick marks @ .1AU, .25AU, .5AU, .75AU, 1AU, 2AU, 5AU, 10AU, and max range. Also please add a non-editable field above or below the input field that shows the range that the scanner is currently set to in AU.

Yeah, this. The slider scale would have to be logarithmic though.
