What is this 3000?  Is it a hex code, a value to be stored, or what ?

Are you starting your code with  org 0 ?  Are you jumping from 0 to 5 (or
6), there are reserved uses for the first 4 program addresses and it is
safest to put a   goto 6   in as the first command at  org 0.

Often written as -

org 0
        goto start
org 3
        goto reset_routine
org 6
start

Bye.
