UPS Can Be a Noise Source

john@kk9a.com
I have a couple CyberPower uninterruptable power supplies in my shack and I
have noticed no issues RX or TX.

Hmmm. I had a Cyber Power 1500VA unit for a while on my station, but one
day I transmitted on 12 meters and something inside the thing made a
"pop". This was followed by a loud "crack" and the UPS expired then and
there. I should note I have an extremely difficult RF environment on my
tiny urban lot (a second floor shack with a SteppIR 3L about 15 feet
directly over the operating chair). This might have been a one-off
thing, but if you're going to use one of the Cyber Power devices, check
it at LOW RF levels on all bands for EMI problems.
