Volt testing question? need guidance... 700

No blown fuses or relays, Battery fine, alt. fine. but still have a charging problem somewhere or a short perhaps.
It all started out as a strange electrical problem. Stepped on breaks, radio cut out. Turned on lights, radio cut out, or just driving down the road with the ignition key in a dead spot (radio off) and my radio would make its beeping sound as though I had shut the car off. Replaced electricial part of ignition switch, and voltage regulator, taped up some wires, car ran great for two weeks. Let it sit for a week, now problem is worse. Car starts but accesories don't work.

I can drive it around and sometimes all of a sudden the volt gauge reads normal and everything starts working. Shut off car or just drive for awhile longer, and then I am back to square one again.

Sometimes, I get into my car and the open door beep comes on, overhead lights etc. a few hours later it sounds sick, yet a few hours later then its back to normal.
