Usually when I turn it on for the day is when the problem shows up

but have been unsuccessful.
Sounds a lot like an unsoldered or poorly soldered connection. You could
just go over the RF board and reheat all of the solder joints, adding a
bit of fresh solder (mostly for the flux).
It could be an intermittent component, but it's more likely a solder joint.
If it will stay broken long enough to use the signal tracing technique
described at

you may be able to find it that way.
