Well, I assume you mean to hook up your power supply to the UPS.
Your radio would be quoting 20A at probably around 13V to make math simpler.
13x20 = 260Watts.
A typical desktop draws at least 450 watts, although the minitowers usually
have smaller power supplies.

Subject: How much AC power does a loaded 20 amp DC power supply draw, and how
does this compare to a PC and monitor?
Hi.
Let me explain what I want. I've purchased a UPS for my computer, and it
occurred to me that I could hook up my radio which runs off of a power
supply. The radio I have draws a little over 20 amps using maximum power.
How does this compare with a monitor and PC? Do these draw less power than
the radio, or would it be close to the same? I got a great deal on a
battery backup, and I figured this setup would power the radio for a few
minutes.
Thanks in advance.
