One thing I've found after talking to a more experienced pilot is that the antennas on the phantom go down the legs. This means they are vertical - so is your transmitter. The radiation/reception pattern for these antennas is a donut with the hole being centered on the antenna. So straight up and straight down don't get much signal.
Get it at a distance in front of you (or even behind you) and you should see better results.
I've also found that there are some rotations of the craft where signal can be lost. Keep turning, just a little bit and signal pops right back.
A lot of my testing so far as been signal and rth testing so I have confidence when I start to stretch the range.
