Thank you for clarifying this mystery.

FYI: ascii 0x02 is STX = Start of Text  It is used by many devices that 
communicate over RS232 to demark the beginning if a message.  This code is
used to parse messages from such devices and so the character is sprinkled all 
through it.

Other such codes freuently used are:

1       001     01      00000001        SOH             Start of Heading
2       002     02      00000010        STX             Start of Text
3       003     03      00000011        ETX             End of Text
4       004     04      00000100        EOT             End of Transmission
