Narrative:
As first officer I had set up captain's EFIS for standard routing on departure. Eyw 037 degree radial. We departed eyw with captain flying. Departure gave us a vector of 030 degrees to join the airway (V-157). During my 'climb checklist flow' the captain reset his VOR to the dhp VOR which was in standby. I didn't see this action, as I was busy with radios (communication type) and other switches and power settings. When the course came alive and the captain joined, I began questioning my EFIS display of both courses overlaid. When I realized captain was tuned to dhp VOR and corrected him, we were very nearly over the dea radar balloon at navy key west. It was down, and no one said anything to us about our position. This was a case of a captain on reserve, who doesn't fly much and an overloaded first officer. I took it for granted he would be familiar with the route -- he wasn't. We may have penetrated the restr area associated with the balloons. I'm not sure.

Title: CAPT OF A SAAB SF340B, PENETRATED RESTR AIRSPACE DUE TO FAILING TO FOLLOW THE DEP CLRNC TRACK DURING CLBOUT. VOR MISTUNED.
Narrative: AS FO I HAD SET UP CAPT'S EFIS FOR STANDARD ROUTING ON DEP. EYW 037 DEG RADIAL. WE DEPARTED EYW WITH CAPT FLYING. DEP GAVE US A VECTOR OF 030 DEGS TO JOIN THE AIRWAY (V-157). DURING MY 'CLB CHKLIST FLOW' THE CAPT RESET HIS VOR TO THE DHP VOR WHICH WAS IN STANDBY. I DIDN'T SEE THIS ACTION, AS I WAS BUSY WITH RADIOS (COM TYPE) AND OTHER SWITCHES AND PWR SETTINGS. WHEN THE COURSE CAME ALIVE AND THE CAPT JOINED, I BEGAN QUESTIONING MY EFIS DISPLAY OF BOTH COURSES OVERLAID. WHEN I REALIZED CAPT WAS TUNED TO DHP VOR AND CORRECTED HIM, WE WERE VERY NEARLY OVER THE DEA RADAR BALLOON AT NAVY KEY WEST. IT WAS DOWN, AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO US ABOUT OUR POS. THIS WAS A CASE OF A CAPT ON RESERVE, WHO DOESN'T FLY MUCH AND AN OVERLOADED FO. I TOOK IT FOR GRANTED HE WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE RTE -- HE WASN'T. WE MAY HAVE PENETRATED THE RESTR AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE BALLOONS. I'M NOT SURE.
