Narrative:
Approach to ILS 8L atl frequency 109.3 heading 110 degree at 2800' MSL 2 mi outside marker cleared for approach. Got G/south capture but no localizer realized at marker we had ILS 9R, 108.9 frequency set in. At same time approach control called us to question if we had localizer. Gave us a vector north to resequence for another approach. We were IMC. With short turn to final; had we been VFR we would have seen runway and made a correction; but IFR nobody caught the mistake until the last min; PNF had tuned and idented the radios and was questioning identification and fact there was DME on ILS where 8L ILS had no DME but due to short turn on it was too late. Basically it was pilot error. We briefed the correct approach but looked at the wrong frequency and set in the wrong frequency. We caught it too late. If approach had not called us, we were in the process of going around.

Title: FLT CRW OF MLG CLEARED RWY 8L AT ATL TUNED ILS FOR RWY 9R. DEVIATED FROM APCH COURSE UNTIL APCH CTLR ITERVENED. FLT WAS VECTORED FOR ANOTHER APCH.
Narrative: APCH TO ILS 8L ATL FREQ 109.3 HDG 110 DEG AT 2800' MSL 2 MI OUTSIDE MARKER CLRED FOR APCH. GOT G/S CAPTURE BUT NO LOC REALIZED AT MARKER WE HAD ILS 9R, 108.9 FREQ SET IN. AT SAME TIME APCH CTL CALLED US TO QUESTION IF WE HAD LOC. GAVE US A VECTOR N TO RESEQUENCE FOR ANOTHER APCH. WE WERE IMC. WITH SHORT TURN TO FINAL; HAD WE BEEN VFR WE WOULD HAVE SEEN RWY AND MADE A CORRECTION; BUT IFR NOBODY CAUGHT THE MISTAKE UNTIL THE LAST MIN; PNF HAD TUNED AND IDENTED THE RADIOS AND WAS QUESTIONING ID AND FACT THERE WAS DME ON ILS WHERE 8L ILS HAD NO DME BUT DUE TO SHORT TURN ON IT WAS TOO LATE. BASICALLY IT WAS PLT ERROR. WE BRIEFED THE CORRECT APCH BUT LOOKED AT THE WRONG FREQ AND SET IN THE WRONG FREQ. WE CAUGHT IT TOO LATE. IF APCH HAD NOT CALLED US, WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING AROUND.
