While they are indeed used for both a transmiter & spg (in fact I do this also), there have been multiple hp ports on regulators long before wireless transmitters have been around. Many people like having the barrel part of their 1st stae pointing down so it doesn't hit the back of their head. But some tank/valve configurations require it to point up beccause of clearance issues.
