Yes, I believe the default under the old usrp drivers was "TX/RX". The
default under the new setup is "RX2". You can make a call
usrp->set_rx_antenna("TX/RX"). That should, in theory, restore the old
behavior (although I've seen what might be unpredictable behavior in
this mode - I don't know for sure though) unless you have some full
duplex shenanigans going on. Alternatively, you can just screw on an
antenna on the RX2 port and you should see a strong signal, which is the
approach I often use.
