I had an old antenna switch from a set of Moonraker 4 beams years ago & it had a position where when switched to that position it used both vertical & horizontal elements at the same time. I could see there being a possible advantage on receive due to there being less fading on long distance or skip signals but I always thought on transmit it would split the output power between the two & depending upon conditions & could actually hurt you transmitted signal? Someone else may have already mentioned this since I only read one page of the comments.
