does it show something on the display every 3 seconds?
Seems to me it could check the input frequency and still receive the 
repeater output frequency at the same time without interupting the receive 
frequency audio...probably something shows on the display and it doesn't 
actually interupt the audio.
something interupting the receive audio every 3 seconds would be very 
anoying...
