Assuming the signal is sent via a satllite it takes a minimum of 300 milliseconds to make one hop. Other delays in transmission not considered.

It's the length of the two legs up and down to the satellite The satellite is roughly 25,000 miles over the equator so that's a minimum of 50,000/186,000. That's about a quarter of a second for the up and down part and you have to get the distance of the individual legs of the trip.

Get the actual distance, Google earth will help you. Then you can divide that by 299,796. (Speed of light) This will give you the time it takes for the signal to get there. But I am going to make you do the math your self. My guess is about .03 seconds. Give or take with a better calculator Good luck.

the satellite is basically a radio repeater. it receives on one frequency and transmits on another. all depending on the radio brand,it may take one to two seconds for the detector to trip the transmitter.so to answer your question, 2 seconds.
