Psionic Range Band question

Not sure if this has been brought up.

Pg 197 of June errata book Psionics Section
Most abilities can be used at a distance and have a Reach characteristic. This is the distance (using the Range Bands on page 73) at which the ability can normally be used. However, a powerful psion can
increase the range at which he uses abilities with greater mental effort.
The Reach of an ability can be increased by one Range Band if twice the Psi Cost is paid, and increased by two Range Bands if the Psi Cost is multiplied by four.

There is no Range Band on page 73. There is a Range Band Chart on page 151 and 155 as well as the Psionic Range Band chart at the top right side of page 197. So is the paragraph talking about Range Bands in need of an edit?

Are you sure they were not telling you to use the three ranges modifiers (aka Range Bands) listed on 73 with the Reach chart on 197?

Thus if I used a talent that had a "reach" of Distant (501 meters to 5 kilometers) but I use it at 125 meters or less then based on page 73 I would get a DM+1 to the test roll? And if I tried to use it at "Very Distant" it would cost me an additional 2 Psionic Points and my test would be at a DM -2 per page 73?
