PL was Motorola’s term for CTCSS, which is an analog tone that’s sent to open the squelch on the radio you’re trying to reach. 
It stands for Private Line, but it doesn’t mean your conversation won’t be heard. 
Look in your manual for CTCSS. 

There’s a similar feature called DPL for Digital Private Line. It’s commonly called DCS or DTCSS.
