Notes:

Commands use a final "*" to ensure "noise" doesn't cause linking or unlinking.

The codes for the HM site controller (#1) have and additional character, A or B for the half of the controller pair, and a third character for the port number.

The 220 repeater is currently always linked, and it also gets all error messages the controller sends out (they are blocked on other ports).  We use it because so few people monitor it.
