The first digit is the chance to have a radio, 0 to 90% the second is used for unit rarity, 0=average, 1=rare, 2=common, 3=NEVER picked by the AI but players can purchase.

Units without a radio (the 1st digit) can still communicate with nearby units BUT can't report what they see (or hear reports by other units) to the rest of your units. Up till recently squads and teams rarely had radios so needed to stay in visual range of their parent platoon HQ to stay informed.
