It depends on the nature of the transmission. Highly directional transmissions, such as those used to communicate with satellites are unlikely to be intercepted. Omnidirectional signals are very likely to be intercepted, and you're right, you can DF them just like a radar signal. That's useful information all by itself.
The thing is, these sorts of systems are not only battlefield sensors but also intelligence gathering devices, and as such are most likely considered top secret.
