The three lines that are echo "HEXCODE" >> gpg.keys are the issue for
me, I guess. Where do those numbers come from?

They're the keyids for the given channels you're using.  The channel
publishers should state the keyid in use for the channel. You need to specify them so that when sa-update checks the signature on the update file, it will know what keyid to consider valid, which protects you from someone else creating a channel update file and signing it with another random key.

Ok, where in those directions are you supposed to find the keyid?
