Further, if (as Rob suggested) you have a 3.3v converter in your cable,
then a loopback test will succeed, even though a clone may fail.
Claiming that the cable is good in such a way would mislead users away
from legitimate cable issues I think, without providing *too* much benefit.

I'd rather spend time making sure that the drivers that expect echoes
properly report the case where echoes are not received as a separate
error from a lack of response from the radio.
