I suspect this was intended to go to the reflector instead of just me.

Yes, since DX Engineering doesn't actually manufacture switches, I was talking about Alpha Delta.  I previously (2017) bought two AD surge protectors from DXE, opened them up by unscrewing the cartridges and examined the interior. To say I was disturbed by what I saw would be an understatement. I contacted DXE and to their credit they took them back for refund.

    I second DX Engineering.  I have not looked inside one of their switches, 
but
    based on examination of some of their surge protectors, I would not 
recommend
    Alpha Delta.

    price and excellent service.
