I can't see any way the sending unit has any idea where the team they are sending to is, so they will need to use maximum power and send on a frequency that will reach that far.

Your idea of a distributed group of transmitters would help, but they will still be pretty close to each other and would give a fairly close fix.

We also have the various manned and unmanned commo bases, possibly automatically transmitting messages.

This is a subject that requires a lot more research!!
