Narrative:

Last flight of a long day, the flight home. I was captain flying, first officer worked the radios. Climbing out we called departure control and reported flight climbing through 3700' to 5000'. ATC replied, 'climb and maintain 6000'.' our altitude alert was set to 5000' by the first officer on the ground, but we were given a clearance only to 3000'. We leveled, and at 6000' ATC asked what altitude we were given on our IFR clearance. First officer replied 3000'. Also first officer did not set correct squawk code on our transponder. First officer did not read the clearance to the captain when he received it and I did not check to see if the proper altitude and squawk code was set. Contributing factors: last flight of the day, flight was late off the gate and we took an immediate takeoff.

Title: COMMUTER LTT ALT DEVIATION OVERSHOT DURING CLIMBOUT FROM CVG.

Narrative: LAST FLT OF A LONG DAY, THE FLT HOME. I WAS CAPT FLYING, F/O WORKED THE RADIOS. CLBING OUT WE CALLED DEP CTL AND RPTED FLT CLBING THROUGH 3700' TO 5000'. ATC REPLIED, 'CLB AND MAINTAIN 6000'.' OUR ALT ALERT WAS SET TO 5000' BY THE F/O ON THE GND, BUT WE WERE GIVEN A CLRNC ONLY TO 3000'. WE LEVELED, AND AT 6000' ATC ASKED WHAT ALT WE WERE GIVEN ON OUR IFR CLRNC. F/O REPLIED 3000'. ALSO F/O DID NOT SET CORRECT SQUAWK CODE ON OUR XPONDER. F/O DID NOT READ THE CLRNC TO THE CAPT WHEN HE RECEIVED IT AND I DID NOT CHK TO SEE IF THE PROPER ALT AND SQUAWK CODE WAS SET.
