The time is longer than 5 seconds for the amps described.
I have been using one such amp for a year.

To add, the band change is a loud operation.
It is kind of distracting, but not too much.

I have an AL1200 as the other amp.
It is kind of faster but it distracts me off the radio B when changing
band.
Total time elapsed comparison is not so clear.

If your radios are all Drake C line, then this is something we might
agree.
