All but 2 were fresh water. I rinsed them and dove within 4 days in freshwater for a dive. DIN on HP steel tanks.

The fact that this happened coincident with the installation of the transmitter makes me wonder. Occams Razor.
OP
I received the 1st stage and 2 second stages serviced back today.
OP
Here are pictures of the used parts for the first stage. Not sure what they are exactly but it looks like the gray piece took a set compared with a new one. Maybe I'll take the next service class to have an idea of what to look for and how to make it last longer between servicing.

The gray piece looks pretty much like that after it's been in there for a while.
One of the little o rings looks like it may have a defect on the inside, or it may be just dust or dirt or the way the picture was taken.
The part of greatest interest is the HP seat (the part that looks like a tiny toilet plunger). Look carefully at the plastic end for any irregularities that could be the cause of ip creep.

Surprisingly time got away from me being under stay at home. I looked at the plunger and the only imperfection I can see is the side near the metal which looks like where it would have connected from the injection molding with a bunch of them connected together if that is how they make them. Would a small imperfection on the side affect it or just the front surface? The small o-rings have a little piece sticking out as you can see from the picture. I reached out to them to see if there was something I could do to make it last longer between services but understandably with everything going on no response. If anything this showed me why it is important to take the regulator repair class so I can better understand my equipment. Thanks for all your comments.
