Monitor Function

[WRZM243]

If monitor function is activated and you hear all traffic on the repeater channels outside the imputted pl tones, when you transmit with this function activated, will you be able to transmit out on your respective pl tone and will other's hear you if they have the same pl tones?

All it does is temporarily (while pressing the button usually) disable squelch for receiving. It does nothing to remove the tones for transmitting .

Not totally sure if the question but I can tell you every one can hear everything that is said if they don’t have any tones set.   What radio are you using.

Motorola CDM 1250... so if the monitor function is activated and I can hear everyone without my pl tone and I transmit... I will transmit over my pl tone that is set and others with the same pl tone will hear me still, correct?

 The Monitor button is just a shortcut to zero squelch. It's easier than adjusting the squelch to off then having to turn it back up. It's just for a momentary check if there is any traffic on a channel no mater how weak it is.
