Narrative:

I was flying left seat and the captain was in the right seat. The captain and I have flown together many times in the past and we briefed the departure as we have done on previous flts. I started a right turn to 280 degrees. Soon after that point; the captain dialed in our next altitude of 2000 ft. I saw and called 2000 ft; set and continued my climb to 2000 ft. During those few seconds; the captain and I noticed that the DME was not giving us any information. I think the captain called ATC and stated leaving 1500 ft for 2000 ft. Soon after that; we were told to maintain 1500 ft. Just as I started my descent back to 1500 ft; ATC told me to climb to 8000 ft. I climbed to 8000 ft and soon after that ATC asked us to call them when we landed. If we had any deviation/incident it would be at the altitude between 1500 ft and 2000 ft. It seemed there was some confusion on the departure procedure.
