I can see the idea of bringing more radio types in to enhance realism, but it just made it sort of frustrating overall. I don't see the point in the team leader having the only custom frequency radio...if they needed to change frequencies between multiple squad SR channels, they could much more easily just use the same radio as everyone else and switch channels. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like it's making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
I think what happened there is the new TFAR update gives regular soldiers fixed channel radios now, which obviously causes some problems as you experienced. The author is going to provide a userconfig setting to disable this new feature though, so that it will go back to giving everyone the changeable radios. Hopefully it won't be too long, otherwise maybe we should switch back to the previous version until this is fixed?
