Try:
sideChat

sideRadio is used to play a sound file, like the say command except by radio

I might sound silly but have you named the characters in the name bit?

[Lazy Lays]

Thanks... forgot to name the pilot
Now how do I change the Alpha Black to AlphaLeader ?

you cant change it to Alphaleader but you can have it as Alpha 1
use
this setgroupid ["Alpha", "groupcolor0"]
in the leader of the squads init field
have a go

Along this same line, how do I make a person using sideChat have his name appear in parentheses? I tried modifying CfgIdentities in my description.ext and I used the setIdentity command, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have tried and failed.  It only seems to work for the player.  The best I have done is to put the unit's name in the text message.

I seem to remember that in the CWC and Resistance campaigns, Papa Bear and other "characters" would have their names in parentheses when they said something. Or have I remembered incorrectly?

[THobson]

Yes but it seems there are some limitations:

I thought you were refering to normal units.

Oh, I see...I thought you could have as many custom callsigns as you want. Thanks anyway.
