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.
