The PC on which I run DX4WIN has a 200 watt power supply, which I am currently powering with a 300VA APC UPS. Does anyone know whether the power rating of the UPS is based on how much power you can draw during normal, line-powered operation, or is it related to the spec for how much grace you have when the power goes out? Put another way, if I want another PC in the shack and want mainly to guard against brief power dips (there go those squirrels again) do I need a second UPS as well?
