A UPS is a nice replacement for a surge protector if there's a computer
on it. However UPSs do create birdies, if the antenna is local to
the area.

A multiple power fail can really screw the data on your hard drive
as the second one hits the computer in a vulnerable state at restart;
which a UPS prevents. At most it turns off once when the battery runs
down.

That's a software hit more than a hardware hit that you're protecting
yourself from.

I have all my radios on a UPS too, but the antennas are not near the
UPS.
