That depends entirely on your scanner. Many cover the 800MHz band, but some don't. Also, if they're moving to that band, chances are that your local agencies are upgrading to a trunking system - something that may or may not be compatible with your scanner. Visit www.RadioReference.com to research frequencies and systems in your area, then check your scanner's manual to see if it will work.

No, a television converter box will not work on a police radio scanner. There is currently no way to make this conversion. One cost-effective method of listening to digital police, fire and other communications without purchasing a digital police scanner is through the download and installation of a free smartphone application which receives digital transmissions. There are many available for both Android and iPhone.
The PRO-163 will work with many trunking systems, but it is not a digital scanner. Check www.RadioReference.com to confirm the type of system being used in Akron, then check the scanner manual to see if it will work with that system. If you need the scanner operating manual, you can download/print it here: http://www.scancat.com/OnLineHelp/OEM_Radio_Owners_Manuals/PRO-163-164-OWNERS%20MANUAL_2000164_PM_EN.pdf
Yes, this scanner will work both with pc's and mac computers.
A scanner is an input device because you cannot send data from your computer to the scanner, only from the scanner to the computer.
No, there is little record of police having to work more. Police are always involved after storms and typhoons so they may have more work in the future.

To the best of my knowledge, all regular scanners can work as a photo scanner. However, if you are into photography, a specifically designed photo scanner may be best for you.
"Most portable scanners are about the size of a pen, and work mostly like a normal scanner. You just run the portable scanner over a page and it stores the photo." "A typical portable scanner is usually a hand scanner, which can be drug over a document to scan it, although it can be tough to get the right hand speed."
Yes a OBD 2 scanner/reader will work on your car
Please check whether you installed proper driver for your scanner.
