Default Question regarding the AADE L/C meter

Scratching my head again...

This is specific to the AADE unit.

I've got a coil of about 5mH. If I use the C function of the AADE I get
a reading in the range of 25 pf.

Am I seeing the actual interwinding capacitance here or is the
combination with inductance goofing on the measurement circuit that this
device utilizes?

If it helps anyone get a "feel" for the amount of capacitance of this
coil its about 175 turns, #37-ish loosely scatterwound in about 1.5"
diameter, 1/8" wide and high.

TIA,
Bill WX4A/KP4
