Can anybody tell me what AFRU is? As far as I can tell it's an acronym for Advance Flying & Refresher Unit. If so then what would that be? Ta

or even as found on google
# Aerodrome frequency response unit (AFRU) provides an automatic response when a pilot transmits on the aerodrome frequency (MBZ frequency or CTAF) for the particular aerodrome.
# AFRU with pilot activated aerodrome lighting (PAL) option provides PAL, with voice confirmation of lighting actuation, as an additional function of the AFRU on the MBZ or CTAF frequency associated with the aerodrome.

D'oh, two identical aviation-related acronyms. Thanks Blinky, that one makes more sense since I saw it written along with CTAF.

Can be seen on the frequency section of this chart for Mount Keith airstrip
