Local echo should be *disabled* and you should *still* see echo.

The echo comes from the fact that these radios use a single pin for 
transmit and receive, and thus the TX and RX lines are tied together 
inside the radio. Since you see no echo and no data when you try to 
initiate the clone, something is wrong with hardware. Since you have two 
cables, it sure sounds like the radio. Since you said you tried two 
radios, it sounds like the serial port. Since you tried two serial 
ports... well, not sure what to say :)

However, we can rule out CHIRP here since you aren't getting the 
beginning of the clone message from the radio.
