True, but that’s on the ground and short range. There’s specific dialogue to show that it’s interfering with signals between space and ground.

SPOCK: I detect a counter-frequency emanating from the planet. It appears to be negating all scans, communications, and transporter signals between here and there.

Spock can’t even scan for life signs on Cayuga - he says he’s trying to find a frequency gap but has not been successful so they had to do a visual confirmation and discovered Cayuga’s sickbay had been blown away. At best they could do passive scans like spectrography.

UNA: Still trying to scan for life signs?

SPOCK: I theorized I might be able to find a frequency gap through the interference field, but I have not managed to discover one yet.

UNA: Spock, I don’t think anyone’s alive over there.

SPOCK: Spectrometric analysis suggests there are still pockets of oxygen on board. It is possible someone could have survived.
