There's obviously no real scientific reason, but it does seem like whenever an enemy ship powers weapons or raises shields, it's instantly called out by Sulu/Data/Whoever. So perhaps the radiation from weapons and shields is just too much of a dead giveaway.How cloaking works is more mysterious...it must be based more on magic then science as I can't come up with a reason for why you can't cloak and have shields active.
Plenty of stuff contradicts this, but whatever. Star Trek's technology is on the whole inconsistent, but it's just consistent enough to where nerds can argue about this stuff. A somewhat unfortunate middleground.
