Can I take my Realistic PRO-2050 Scanner to Radio Shack for Programming?

My Brother is sending me a Scanner. It came from Radio Shack. back in the ‘80’s or 90’s I would guess. Would the guys at the Shack know the interesting channels to put in there and how to do it? The boy there mentioned hooking it up to a computer. That would make it very easy.My world is shrinking a bit and I crave more information.
