Narrative:
Summa 5 SID calls for flying the 338 degree radial to 8 DME. We had 358 degree radial dialed in instead on the first officer side. I had another frequency and radial tuned in for the next turn. Just prior to making turn at 8 DME, departure told us we were off SID radial and gave us a turn to continue SID. No traffic conflict was involved. We need to be diligent that course numbers are not transposed.
