I use a compass and a cheap baby monitor to listen for the beeps. Works great!

Well, I set it up in the driveway and using the compass and listening to the beeps I had a signal of 85 in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I appreciate all the help. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Robert, that's great news. Now all you have to do is recreate the process outside of your driveway.

Exactly, I hope it's that easy at the campground, I'll find out next weekend.
