Hi, Ted:
All AREDN nodes have a signal strength (with audio) meter:

I usually set up a DtD'ed node as an Access Point.
Connect to it with my mobile phone.
Browse to the node/antenna I want to adjust.
Disable LQM.
Enable and adjust the audio pitch and volume.
Put the phone in my shirt pocket.
Now I have 2 hands free to climb and/or aim the antenna.
