The first dual-band HT from Yaesu (and, I think, the first dual-band
HT) was the Yaesu FT-727. I actually wouldn't mind one of these
either, they were quite the cat's meow in their day. They only could
receive on one band at a time.
The first dual-band HT I saw with simultaneous dualband receive was
the Kenwood TH-75A, another real nice rig.
My first dual-band HT, however, was the FT-470, which I bought in 1991
and got stolen in 1992, replaced with the well-loved FT-530 shortly
after.
