Supposedly it makes up for the loss by using the desired signal component
from both antennas.
I remember reading the original white paper, and I remember thinking I
understood it for about 5 minutes or so.

So you have a Dual slant AP and a V/H SM? Isn't that just losing signal
for no reason?

It's been explained here, but I don't remember the details. They assert
that you can mix and match safely. In fact they started out selling slant
pol sector antennas and V+H SM's, so they are/were confident enough in
this to make it the "default" setup.
It's a feature of their 802.11n chipset, so the computation is done in
hardware.

I'm looking at the Cambium 2.4 antenna C024900D004A, and it lists it as
being DualSlant +/-45 degrees. Does this mean that the Force 200 2.4
radios are also Dual Slant to talk to this antenna? I didn't find
anything on the Force200 spec sheet talking about slant. If you use a
V/H Antenna as the AP, can you not use the Force 200 as the SM?
