Does anyone know the frequency they use to measure inductance and capacitance?

I use a el-cheapo Chinese LC meter to ballpark the inductor value but one has to measure inductors at the frequency of interest to get the actual inductance because of stray capacitance.

When I am close I follow up with a measurement on my N2PK-VNA which can measure inductance at frequencies from 100kHZ to 60Mhz.

How about inserting a short jumper wire between the two input contacts, install the BFC, then remove the jumper?  In any case the price is cheap enough that I'll get one just to mess with it and find out the true values of some of my RF chokes.  Thanks for the heads-up, guys.
