Default 9caf range check

Hi
I'm using a Futaba 9CAF with the synthesized freq module, and was wondering about the antenna position during a range check. The module gets warm (as per usual I'm told) and I'm concerned about using the Tx with the antenna all the way retracted. I did a range check this afternoon with just the first section extended and I ran out of room after about 150 feet (not at a flying field). Should the antenna be all the way retracted or up one section?
Thanks
Sam
