Welcome! That scanner sure is an oldie
It'll work fine but you might run into problems receiving some frequencies as that scanner probably only supports 25Khz channel spacing (the difference between each channel). i.e. 468.025, 468.050, 468.075, 468.100 instead of the increasingly common 12.5Khz channel spacing - i.e. 78.100, 78.1125, 78.1250, 78.1375.
