A superheterodyne receiver apparatus comprises: a tuning circuit for selecting and receiving a high frequency signal, said circuit being composed of a voltage-variable capacitance element and an inductance element; and a frequency converting unit for frequency converting the high frequency signal to an intermediate frequency signal. The superheterodyne receiver apparatus further comprises: an electrically rewritable read only memory; a calculation unit for calculating tuning voltage setting data, which used to set the tuning circuit to a tuning voltage corresponding to a desired reception frequency, in accordance with a mathematical expression that uses the data stored in the memory as coefficients; and a D/A conversion unit for D/A converting the tuning voltage setting data to the tuning voltage.
