I'm probably just not looking in the right area, but can anyone help steer me in the right direction or offer advice?
I'm trying to learn what steps I need to take to become a licensed Kenwood Programmer. I'm not as concerned with selling the radios or repairing them. My main goal is to be able to program radios for Public Safety. Specifically, NX5700/5800. Our agency recently purchased a few of those radios and the guy they let set that up didn't know much about our agencies radio needs.
That's not the sole reason I'd like to become a licensed programmer. I do enjoy programming radios, but I see that I could benefit my agency as well as others.
Is that something that's even a possibility or do I have to be a full-blown dealer? Are the costs involved in becoming licensed so outrageous it wouldn't be practical to do to occasionally program my agency's radios and neighboring agencies?
