As a layman with a similar history, I think that 1 or more tests are wise to see a trend. I'm sure that I would begin with my RO who delivered my SR, and likely ask to consult with a MO.
My understanding is that I would want to keep as many things constant as possible, including testing at the same lab, and personally all my quarterly PSA tests are at about the same time of day, in my case around 8:00 am.
Best wishes. I am a bit over 24 mos post Salvage Treatment for persistent PSA following RP. And of course you are asking about our fear, which is rising PSA.
Please have good luck and perhaps share your future results.

I guess I’m looking at two options. 1) Start back on ADT and over the years change drugs as they become ineffective and how for a break through somewhere down the line. 2) be aggressive now. Wait for PSA to rise a little more, have scans to locate legions then zap the with radiation, start ADT, and throw in chemo (ala Dr Kwon) and hope for long term remission or cure.
Thoughts?
