The worst case acquisition time for common transmission message periods is shown below:

Transmission ---------- Worst case search time
10 Hz ----------------- 2 seconds
4 Hz ------------------ 3 seconds
2 Hz ------------------ 7 seconds
1 Hz ------------------ 15 seconds
0.5 Hz ---------------- 45 seconds


There is no mathematical formula for calculating these numbers. These estimates were calculated using a brute force method. These numbers also assume zero packet loss and a favorable RF environment.
