maybe like a secondary chanel for the squad leaders to listen to
Assuming both the UAV operator and the squad leaders all have LR, what you could do is:
1) Assign a secondary LR freq. to each squad (i.e. squad 1 - 300Mhz, squad 2 - 400Mhz, etc), which they set as their additional channel on Ch.2, to receive comms from the UAV operator and to reply.
2) Have the UAV operator set the main LR freq (e.g. 152Mhz) on Ch.9 and set that as his additional channel, so that he'll always hear it and be able to transmit on it by pressing Y if he needs to broadcast to all squads.
3) Then he can set his LR Ch.1 to 300Mhz, Ch.2 to 400Mhz, etc and quickly switch between them with the numpad so that he can broadcast just to one squad (using the transmit on LR key) and they can reply (using the transmit on LR additional channel key).
As the UAV operator will be switching his main LR freq, he won't necessarily hear a squad trying to contact him on the secondary LR freq. assigned to that squad, so if a squad needs to initiate comms with the UAV operator, they should do so on the main LR freq. as he'll always be able to hear that.
The problem is that the Raven controls also use the numpad and even if they could be remapped to RCtrl+Num, etc that would probably be too awkward when controlling it, so it might be better to remap the TFAR keys to RCtrl+Num instead but I'm not sure if that's possible. I can't check at the moment as TFAR isn't showing for me under Configure Controls - Addons, even with v0.9.7.3 and CBA v1.1.20.150408.
