[Boatanchors] Question about inductance...

[J. Forster]

The inductance will be at least same at 0.25 A as at 1.3 amps, probably
higher. Certainly not lower.

If you measure the inductance at 0 and plot it, and the value at 1.3 Amps,
v. Current and then read the inductance off the plot for 0.l25 Amps,
you'll be pretty close.
