The main use for PL is to insure that you are hearing only that agency; other agencies on the same frequency will be muted out.

I think there's a typo on that list (BCT1500 for the 15, perhaps?). Anyway both the BCT15 and PRO-2055 can work with PLs. The software is very different for both; but in general, you would program that along with the frequency, alpha tag and so forth.
