Hi,  
This reminds me a similar issue I was having with my Mini v2.2: [LimeSDR Mini V2 reading samples from RX FIFO - #2 by Zack](https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/limesdr-mini-v2-reading-samples-from-rx-fifo/7900/2)

Not sure there is something you can do from just user side of gnuradio, I am not a huge expert of it. Maybe there is a way to configure TX channel without starting a stream.  
Perhaps gnuradio can adopt some sort of quick fix, similar to the examples in the LimeSuite: [Fix singleRX example to work correctly with LimeSDR Mini V2 · myriadrf/LimeSuite@e353507 · GitHub](https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite/commit/e353507decc7d4c525421c539fb7dbc47ab207cc) (at least until LimeSuiteNG is stable as it provides much cleaner API for developers, and also supports new XTRX hardware).
