How close do two hurricanes need to be for the Fujiwhara effect?

A question for those much tropical knowledge smarter than me on this phenomenon...

How close would Irma and Jose have to be before they start affecting each other's environment and actually causing some track change?

Def: "The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as Fujiwara interaction or binary interaction, is when two nearby cyclonic vortices orbit each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas."
