Bob,

I thought they were the same.  Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean by 
ctcss and Pl tones, but I thought both those terms refered to a tone that's 
transmitted continuously as long as the transmitter is up to hold the 
squelch open on the receiving end.  I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm 
wrong.  73,  Lou
