A radio receiver embodying the present invention comprises, a front-end circuit
for selecting a broadcasting wave of a certain frequency from broadcasting waves
received, a memory for storing a channel registering table, tuning key, and a control
circuit. A channel registering table has a plurality of channels registered therein,
and a frequency and register time for each channel are written thereon. The control
circuit specifies a channel of which register time is closest to time of the depression
of the key out of a plurality of channels registered in the table upon the depression
of the key to command tuning operation of the channel to the front-end circuit.
Thus, the radio receiver can be realized wherein the device body is compact, and
even when a listener does not remember a channel registered, a desired channel
can be tuned in with easy manipulation for a short period of time.
