Narrative:

Discrepancy occurred flying outbound 071 degree radial sgf when cleared 039 degree radial on the arrival to stl. Center gave us heading to correct back and a descent. Cause: attention taken away concentrating on flying with a failed autoplt altitude hold. I mistakenly dialed in 071 degree radial vice 039 degree radial. Concentrate on flying first and handle discrepancy later.
