Damn, sniped whilst I was typing but yeah, I see your method makes more sense now
If we agree a standard freq. to set Ch.9 to (assuming that it might not always be set the same for every team by default), then all the team leaders can set to that (and set it as the Alternate channel) at the start of each mission, to make sure we can communicate between teams easily. Then if the team leader gets killed, rather than the person taking over having to search for his body and take the LR, he can just check his Ch.9 is set to that freq, make it the Alternate channel and he'll have comms with the other teams.
Of course, there might be some missions where the teams are far apart and then he'll still need to try and retrieve the LR.
