sorry to correct you, but the 900 MHz licensefree radios, the cellular
radios (analog and digital) and Modacom and Mobitex are all different
animals.
i don't want to go into details though, because it doesn't change your main
point, the ability to localize one of these radios while transmitting.

However, if there are a large number of 900 MHz radio modems operating in
a cryptographically secure spread-spectrum method, it may be very
difficult to locate your particular transmitter...however the modem you
are talking to will know your pseudonoise sequence, and a receiver that
knows this will have a much easier time tracking you down.
