This seems to be the opposite behaviour of what I would expect. From the
description above, I would guess that the source block has the antenna
set to TX/RX.
When you transmit, the receive antenna is forced to RX2.
When not transmitting, the receive antenna is <user setting>.

You can confirm the behaviour with a test signal on RX2 and calling
uhd_fft -A RX2. uhd_fft -A TX/RX should show only leakage
