PL certainly does matter.  If the input frequency of a repeater requires a
PL tone, then the transmitter must transmit the correct PL tone, otherwise,
the repeater will ignore the transmission.   As far as a scanner, you will
hear all transmissions regardless of whether they have a PL tone or not, if
the scanner is set that way, depending on which model of scanner you are
talking about.  Scanner wise, PL tones are good for eliminating interference
on the channel from pagers, intermodulation, or other nearby users that you
may not want to hear.
