If you're using 1 PIC, your example is not going to work as it can't receive at the same time he send. Using the PIC hardware Usart may work with some tricks such as USART interrupt.
As always, your PIC # and schematic would be welcome 
Make sure your module are not to close from each other, your supply lines are clean/noise free, and the output signal of your receiver is also noise free in idle mode.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
