Oct 25, 2014 at 22:02 | comment | added | Papa Poule | Sorry, but can't think of any (much less better) word when talking about that kind of signal. My "ignoring/disregarding" suggestion was based on thinking that you might be talking about other kinds of signals (of the romantic type, for example)! Maybe if you look for other ways to say "losing altitude"/"losing control"/etc. you might hit on something. Losing altitude, for example, means "going/went down" (in the non-"romantic" way!) and you might get to "going dark/went dark" from there, but I really think that "losing it" is going to be hard to beat. | |
Oct 25, 2014 at 21:38 | comment | added | ide | @PapaPoule, "losing" is what I'm going after. A signal has been detected, but when it goes out of range it is no longer detected. Wondering if there's a better word than losing. | |

Oct 25, 2014 at 21:10 | comment | added | Papa Poule | Since you're not failing to detect/overlooking/missing a detectable signal it seems that you're failing to maintain one that has already been detected, which, if "losing" isn't what you're after, might be a result of "ignoring" or "disregarding" it. | |
