There's no beep in response to a garbled RS-232 command, Sverre. The K2 
ignores incorrect commands and quickly recovers to process the next 
one.

This could be a side-effect of a command buffer overrun, however. Some 
programs send a *lot* of data, very fast, without checking for a 
response. Rather than hide this problem by buffering huge quantities of 
data, we suggest that control programs behave in a civilized fashion  
:)
