Abstract
A radio receiver device in which a plurality of items of area data are stored in an area data storage section, and when a last area modification mode that modifies the last area data in the current settings is detected, area data that corresponds to the modified last area data is retrieved from the area data storage section, location data corresponding to the retrieved area data is retrieved from the data storage section, and it is made possible to tune to the radio stations in the retrieved location data, so that even in cases involving movement between a plurality of areas, it is unnecessary for the user to re-set and input the last area data in the area to which he or she moved every time he or she does so, and it is possible to markedly improve the operating characteristics in terms of the setting and inputting of last area data.
