Is your equipment PPM or PCM? Single or Dual Conversion? Is the range checking done with the transmitter antennae fully collapsed or partially? Here's a link to a good article on range checking.

I did a fair amount of range testing today before I maidened my new carbon Supra #48. I tried the thick walled plastic tube along the tailboom - works but only what I consider to be very marginal range (approx 120 feet). Shortening a long story. Gordy - you told me so! What worked best for me was to lengthen the antenna so that 18" of antenna extended out beyond the end of the tailboom. 18" has not been optimized. I just found that with 18" out the back I had more than 300 feet of range and ran out of dry area in my melting snow covered soggy field before I started to see any glitches or jittering.
