I'm sure it's stated in the manual but I'm lazy tonight and you all are so very helpful so please don't tell me to RTFM

What is the effective range on the controller before the connection is lost between the controller and the Phantom 2 Vision+?
Also, what is the effective range for the FPV with no mods?

I know the Phantom comes programmed with a max altitude of 400 feet (and this can be overridden, even though I won't) and a max radius but was curious if increasing the radius will cause me to lose connection with my controller and Phantom?  I was thinking the effective range was a mile or two?

Also, if connection is lost and once regained, can I just toggle my S2 switch in order to gain control since Phantom will be in RTH mode?

Thanks!

No, on a serious note though, how are people getting more than .5 miles range?  Aftermarket parts for range extender?

Seriously, which of the two modes listed are applicable to flying modes for the Phantom?
1) GPS Mode
2) a la mode
3) NAZA-M Mode

I forget.  I was thinking like 20 meters, then the copter will curve off when getting close to takeoff point.

Thank you.  I do my editing in Pinnacle Studio or iMove and selected the song from youtube.  I believe the genre was Cinematic if that helps.
