But the thing is there is a clear distinction in X-wing between "Aquiring a target lock" and "Assigning a Token" to the point where the entire section about the action in the Rules reference is now called "ACQUIRE A TARGET LOCK"

The reason Jendon does not let you aquire a target lock but rather just gives you his is range already.

A target lock can be maintained at any range but only aquired at ranges 1-3 (Except for cases of Long Range Scanners, Sensor Team or the one that's important in this case ST 321)

See Jendon equipped with the ST 321 title can lock on to any ship in the play area, and then hand the lock off effectively granting a better Long range scanners.

If he however gave you the power to aquire your own target lock, you'd have to be in the specified range and as such not doing much except maybe help out with the action economy for the recieving ship.
