...Has anybody else found that selecting squad numbers by pressing the corresponding number on the keyboard doesn't always work and requires repeated key presses?

Actuality, in the command screen, the dot on the mini map of whatever SL is talking to you blinks. So if squad 1 asks for supplies, the little green 1 on your mini map that shows where SL 1 is flashes. It's not the best, but learning to spot that it makes life easier. However, personally as SL I general try to follow the SitRep guidelines to make it easier for the CO. Generally, when talking to command I will start off by saying something like "Com, squad 2..."

As for selecting squads, I noticed that in order to switch squads by key command, you need to be in your command screen, and you cannot have any assets selected. Meaning if you have the UAV selected but have not placed it yet (your mouse icon will look like a UAV icon) you cannot switch squads until you have used the asset or deselected it (mouse back to normal arrow). This is kind of a pain in the butt when you are trying to coordinated 3 squads at once while dropping supplies and EMPing and Orbitaling an enemy, but if you know the tricks it is not that bad. Quick tip, when selecting squads in your command screen, you can select multiple squads using the by holding down the CTRL key and clicking more than one squad.
