Narrative:
Departed runway 23R at rdu. Upon positive rate and gear up callout, first officer (PNF) selected the gear handle up. Gear remained down and locked. A master warning activated with a red 'gear disagreement' message. Landing gear handle was cycled with same outcome. The QRH was completed and maintenance contacted. Decision was made to return to rdu. We circled to burn off fuel to our landing weight and proceeded to rdu. Upon being vectored to runway 23L, we received a clearance to 2000 ft MSL. ATC said no conflict had occurred and there must have been a miscom. Flight landed without incident.
