When you go to the radar station, it always shuts off. Just click the "On" button and it'll be back to normal. That has always been that way as long as I've been playing it.
If the contacts you are getting are radar or sonar contacts (a significant detail that you omitted) which suddenly appear and disappear, then there might be a problem. Does the ship icon disappear and get replaced by a sonar line, or does it simply disappear? Also, are these contacts within visual distance? Are you running any mods?

I'm running stock with no mods version 1.5, for me the radar station is always on when first leaving port by default and all I have to do is set it to maximum range and I'm set to go. The radar would flicker off then on again all by itself with no user input from me, when I go to the radar station it's always on and will not turn off unless I choose to turn it off. We may have different realistic setting that may differ from one person to another.
When I submerge and resurface it comes on automatically unless I turn it off. All of the contacts are while on the surface never submerged, I do not submerge ever unless I get a contact on the map followed by a radar contact. I only submerge right before I setup an attack to take down some ships in a convoy. The instant I get a convoy contact on the map it will get updated several times even when changing course, these are not radar contacts but contact updates and I fully realize that by the time the contacts are reported, the contacts are well ahead of the red icons which showed their last known contact. I hope I have not been vague, I'm trying here.
