How long it takes to change frequency from X MHz to Y MHz will vary depending on the change involved.
The HackRF One has two analog mixers RFFC5071 (85MHz to 4200MHz LO [84MHz to 5400MHz]) and the MAX2837 (2300MHz to 2700MHz IF [2150MHz to 2750MHz]) RF switches to switch in or bypass a low pass filter up to 2.3GHz and a high pass filter from 2.7GHz up. (And RF switches to change from RX to TX) (And selectable baseband filters (inside the MAX2837)). To change frequemncy will require changes in one or more of the above parts. What you are really asking is how long after a change is requested, will the change have happen and everything have settled into a steady state, before data being output is valid and not in some unknown intermediate state, with bad data. From what I have read, it could be wrong, if it was done in firmware it would be between 100 to 200 microseconds. But if it was being changed via USB 2.0 on the host the hardware latency of USB protocol, USB drivers, non-realtime OS, needs to be taken into account, so 1 to 2 milliseconds, or one order of magnitude slower.
