Narrative:
During climb out we were told to intercept a radial (335 degrees on a heading of 270 degrees). We received an on course indication on the HSI and turned to approximately 335 degrees. The indication was false and we were given a vector to the proper course. The proper frequency was set and the VOR was idented but further indications were also erroneous. We experienced no problems with other vors. I believe the VOR in question was unreliable.

Title: CAPT OF LTT ATX ACFT DEVIATED FROM ASSIGNED DEP CLRNC TRACK AND WAS VECTORED BY ATC TO ON COURSE.
Narrative: DURING CLBOUT WE WERE TOLD TO INTERCEPT A RADIAL (335 DEGS ON A HDG OF 270 DEGS). WE RECEIVED AN ON COURSE INDICATION ON THE HSI AND TURNED TO APPROX 335 DEGS. THE INDICATION WAS FALSE AND WE WERE GIVEN A VECTOR TO THE PROPER COURSE. THE PROPER FREQ WAS SET AND THE VOR WAS IDENTED BUT FURTHER INDICATIONS WERE ALSO ERRONEOUS. WE EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS WITH OTHER VORS. I BELIEVE THE VOR IN QUESTION WAS UNRELIABLE.
