In other trips, I have carried a camera backpack that far exceeds those
widths, even on CRJ's in the Caribbean. There was no way I was checking a
camera back worth a lot of money and far more fragile than my Amateur
equipment.
You will have to be nice and work with the people at check in. I
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

More than a few contesters drag radio gear several times a year to

I am sure there are just as many horror stories as "I've never had a problem"
stories. Such as the time I was carrying a small Ten-Tec shortwave receiver and
was detained for almost half an hour while the agent stared and actually asked
me, "Voices come out of this thing?"

I used to take an FT-817 and wire antenna through airport security (TSA)
when I travelled for work. Never had an issue. Put it in your carry-on, and
let TSA inspect it if they check your bags. You may actually want to leave
