If you know how, you can make a simple radar if you can make a half-decent radio. Certainly, one suited to detecting airships with sufficient accuracy to start looking for it with searchlights (i.e. not very) would be fairly simple, as these things go.
A gun-laying radar, or even a searchlight
directing one, is a different matter. In WWII German radar terms, a
Freya search radar is a much easier thing to make than a
Würzburg gun/searchlight laying radar.

Also, I am not sure how well it would work on flying beasts.

Badly, unless it's a fairly good centimetric radar.
