	The VOR/LOC allows you to capture a course to/from (usually a "radial") a VOR beacon. LOC is to capture the localiser on an ILS approach. For LOC you need to have the ILS freq for the runway dialled in on Nav1. For VOR, I can't remember if in PIC you can use Nav1 for the VOR frequency, or if you need to do it on the FMC.

	I don't see how the FMC would interfere with localizer capture (apart from obviously the NAV RAD page).

	737 PIC doesn't have a NAV-RAD Page. What Tom-a320 is saying is that the ILS should be automatically tuned by the FMC, i usually tune in manually anyway.
