Narrative:

Inbound to mia, I was anticipating ILS runway 27L, and set that frequency in standby on #2 navigation. Later, we were advised to expect localizer 30. I had localizer 30 frequency set in #2 navigation with ihls runway 27L in standby. Our approach was then switched to ILS runway 27R. During the approach, #2 navigation was intermittent and captured the ILS runway 27L localizer, which was in standby. ATC advised us that we were on the localizer for runway 27L and if preferred, could shoot that approach. We agreed, and landed on runway 27L without further incident. We advised maintenance and upon inspection they replaced the #2 navigation radio and we flew 6 more legs that day in same aircraft without further trouble.
