Narrative:

Problem arose out of wrong NAVAID tuned in 'PF' radio even though right course was set in EFIS, resulting in aircraft being in position 20 NM off course to the north. Brought on by captain's complacency and not paying attention. Discovered by first officer and correct turn was made but not without center's questioning to turn back on course and the reason why.
