Narrative:
We were originally told to expect runway 2C at bna. Approach then told us to expect runway 2R. We were then told to intercept runway 2R on a 340 degree heading. The first officer was identing frequencys and I turned to 340 degree heading. My CDI was deflected left. Approach then asked us to turn back to 040 degrees to reintercept runway 2R localizer. We complied and relayed back that we thought the captain's CDI was indicating improperly. As it turns out, I had failed to turn off the radial/navigation switch. I then turned it off, intercepted runway 2R localizer and landed visually without incident. Supplemental information from acn 478680: we told ATC we thought we had a receiver problem.

Title: A B727-200 PIC FLIES THROUGH THE LOC OF RWY 2R WHEN HE HAS HIS RADIO NAV SELECTOR SWITCH IN THE NAV POS. APCH CTLR ALERTS AND VECTORS THEM BACK ON A REINTERCEPT AT BNA, TN.
Narrative: WE WERE ORIGINALLY TOLD TO EXPECT RWY 2C AT BNA. APCH THEN TOLD US TO EXPECT RWY 2R. WE WERE THEN TOLD TO INTERCEPT RWY 2R ON A 340 DEG HDG. THE FO WAS IDENTING FREQS AND I TURNED TO 340 DEG HDG. MY CDI WAS DEFLECTED L. APCH THEN ASKED US TO TURN BACK TO 040 DEGS TO REINTERCEPT RWY 2R LOC. WE COMPLIED AND RELAYED BACK THAT WE THOUGHT THE CAPT'S CDI WAS INDICATING IMPROPERLY. AS IT TURNS OUT, I HAD FAILED TO TURN OFF THE RADIAL/NAV SWITCH. I THEN TURNED IT OFF, INTERCEPTED RWY 2R LOC AND LANDED VISUALLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 478680: WE TOLD ATC WE THOUGHT WE HAD A RECEIVER PROB.
