That is a nice way to carry two radios if you don't mind lugging the  
weight on your shoulder though various airports or being able to carry  
much else. Be careful however as most U.S. airlines have a maximum 9"  
width on check-in bags.  I put a singe K3S in a Rose bag inside a  
Samsonite carry-on along with peripherals and even a few clothes.

More than a few contesters drag radio gear several times a year to
island stations in the Caribbean. One of my neighbors, W0YK has long
carried on a pair of K3s in Rose's cases to P49, where he regularly wins
RTTY contests. He had Rose put velcro on one surface of each so that
they "clamped" together to be one piece of luggage, then pulled them
apart to stow them in the overhead.
