What is curious is this is rated : ---MECHANICAL LIFE 100K CYCLES 
---ELECTRICAL LIFE 50K CYCLES I am lucky to get a small percentage of 
its rating.

Seems your experience is not typical, and I have no explanation for it.

A possible solution would be to plug your power supply in to a switched 
power outlet strip and leave the switch on the power supply ON all the 
time. No harm to the power supply doing it this way, as it is 
essentially the same as using the switch on the power supply. Not sure 
if the radio would like it. I wonder if it is important to not keep the 
radio ON while the power supply is switched on?
