The tantalum cap specified might have a tighter value tolerance, which is important to setting the time constant of the AGC. A regular electrolytic can be plus 80 per cent minus 20 per cent tolerance depending on the type and age. The tantalum if of the military can type should be more precise at setting the TC.
