Narrative:
Upon departure off runway 32 at frg a climb to 2900 feet MSL was conducted for our flight northbound. Upon landing we were advised to call new york TRACON. TRACON advised that they showed us cruising at 3100 feet MSL which would have put our aircraft inside the class B airspace. At no time did the aircraft climb above 2900 indicated altitude. Altimeters were set and cross checked both before departure from frg and before arrival at [our destination] with the respective local barometric pressures. On the subsequent flight we asked TRACON for a mode C check while in cruise at 10;500 feet which agreed with our indicated altitude.
