There is enough leakage between the TX and RX side that you won't need
to connect them at all.  Just put a dummy load on the TX side.  The
TX/RX switch has about 35 dB of isolation.  You may get some extra
isolation by setting the RX input to RX2 and putting another dummy load
there.

You can also lower the TX power.
