...I'm not saying I understand it by the way. Just saying I have no
reason to disbelieve it. If in doubt, turn your SM 45 degrees and see
if your signal changes.

So how does the connector distinguish between these antennas and relay
information to chip set to "phase differently"? I am assuming these
antennas are passive with no smarts.

Phase. Yes, it's built into the chipset. 450 does it too. At least the
3.65.

So if you were to use like a v/h UBNT antenna instead of the Dual
Slant antenna, They both should work? Wondering what the 3x price
difference between antennas gains you.

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?

They've apparently got some electronic magic that can take the
received signal on V/H and calculate what the transmitted dual
slant signal was. 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?
