Is there anything speaking against leaving the CW switch continuously on? Maybe overheating or does it trigger some RWRs?

Yes to both. But it also depends on the radar selection in the WSO pit. Like, if the radar is turned off, selection of this switch wont do much.

In practice, for most DCS players it is probably best to just leave it on ON. But there are of course situations in which it might be meaningful to have it off (or standby) while the radar itself is still turned on. Also relevant for ground tests (in particular IRL).
