   And that is your best clue!   
      
   I suspect that there is an intermittent in one (or more) component on the RF   
   board - a lifted leg, cracked leg, cold solder or similar that goes   
   intermittent with heat, vibration, or just plain cussedness. Not knowing (but   
   suspecting) this board is    
   mostly SMT devices, if you have a thin bamboo skewer, you might try tapping on   
   the individual components to try and get to a specific culprit.    
      
   Good luck with it!
