Switching between CW and SSB voltages doesn't stress the switch much. Turning
the amp on results in a large surge through the on/off switch. This can be 
minimized
by starting the amp in the CW position. Better still is a soft-start circuit.

Thing is,
If you were to stick with just one voltage, and say the switch did go bad, what is wrong with just by-passing the switch all together and just connect the wires to each other as the switch is doing? And just not have it at all anyway?

I do not want to wear out the unobtainium CW/SSB switch by going back and forth every time I use the amp. I want to pick one voltage setting and do 95% of my operation there.

I do just the opposite, I switch to CW/tune each time to try to save the unobtainium on/off switch from higher inrush current...
