  I'm wondering if there is a commercially made UPS (Uninterruptable Power 
Supply) that is RF quiet, or more RF quiet, than the average?

Yes, the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD. I have five of them, first bought at least ten years ago. In addition to being relatively quiet when in standby mode, it has the MAJOR virtue of not overcharging the battery, causing the battery to last a long time. Most UPS units DO overcharge the battery, so you have to buy a replacement (from them, of course) every year or two.

With ANY modern power supply, it's good practice to wind multiple turns of the power cord through a big #31 clamp-on. Detailed advice in this applications note.
