Unfortunately, yes, this is normal in my experience. If the application does 
not properly close the device (or is terminated by signal and thus does not 
have the opportunity to) then the HackRF One will remain in the last mode it 
was in. I wish the HackRF firmware would understand when the process talking to 
it is kaput and reset, but it doesn't.

If you are using GNU Radio Companion, avoid using the “Kill” button in GRC and 
exit your flow graph from its own GUI (if it has one) instead.

Staying in receive mode is largely harmless, however; it will not prevent the 
next process from taking control.

No special settings are required for different frequencies. However, local 
oscillator frequency error will have a larger effect on higher frequencies — 
have you tuned around with your receiver, to check for the signal off the 
nominal frequency and outside of the SSB receive bandwidth?
