I was checking for leaks in my first stage after reconfiguring the hoses, and heard a rhythmic ticking coming from the vytec wireless transmitter (very faint). I hear it even when the tank is disconnected. I'm assuming this is normal as it works fine. I was just wondering if anyone else has observed this (I didn't see anything in searches) or knows what part of the mechanism is causing it. I'm guessing it's related to transmitting...
 
update: transmitter has been off the tank for about 10 minutes now and has stopped making noise. The manual says it will shut off after tank pressure has dropped below 145psi, but I guess it waits a minute or two to completely shut down.
