Narrative:

ATC facility: ZLC. Location: ffu/170/20. On departure from slc, ATC advised us that we had missed our turn on the ffu 145 degree radial and to fly heading 110 degrees and proceed direct ama. We reviewed the SID and queried ATC as we felt that we were on course. ATC advised us that we should be flying the ffu 3 departure hve transition when in fact we were flying the ffu 1 departure hve transition. Perhaps changing the name of one of these departures would prevent this from happening in the future.
