I received my Doss (model MRC03) 3 packs of remote mains switches from Rockby Electronics today.
First thing to note is the remote does not come with the required "23A" 12V battery.
A quick test along side the Altronics / Jackson ones shows that they are not compatible. Interestingly, the Doss units are marked "433.05 - 434.79 MHz", not 433.92MHz like the others.
The remote has 4 pairs of on / off buttons and each main switch has a slide switch to select one of 4 channels. Range seems good. I installed the battery in the remote (and pressed the 1 ON button) while I was downstairs and saw that the switch I'd already plugged in upstairs was on when I got back.
I'll do some 'net searching and see if someone's already decoded the data for these. If not I'll have to either break out an RF receiver and capture the signal, or perhaps open the remote up to see what chip it uses.
