Mark,
I agree 100%.
About the only thing the FT-530 lacked was the ability to be programmed via computer which wasn't common (or available at all) at the time. Of course, it only had 41 memories for each band so programming them manually wasn't much of an issue.
I had an FT-51R and it was a good radio, too, but I didn't care much for its display.

The FT-530 was probably the best HT that Yaesu ever made.
