A cold night's discussion evolved into: if my radar is picking up a

physically see it ...

If that's the case; i.e., losing a radar target when you close on
it; is it merely the way radar works, or is the radome mounted
incorrectly or are there other variables I'm unaware of insofar as
radar and minimum range/tuning?

The simplest explanation is that the height of the transmitter (aka, radome)
enters into the equation.
