Radar altimeters by their nature have a percentage inaccuracy, as well as an absolute inaccuracy. The percentage inaccuracy is typically ±5%. At 3,000', that's over 150' possible difference, which is what is probably causing the miscompare between the two systems.
Surprised any manufacturer is even using radar altimeter signals above 2,000' AGL.
