The K3 Mic algorithm applies a fast attack, slow decay gain control loop 
after the Tx Equalizer.  The peak detector in this loop is displayed on 
the ALC bargraph. The fifth bar indicates the threshold beyond which the 
loop reduces gain.  Currently, the 6th bar shows about 3 dB of loop gain 
reduction and the 7th bar's threshold is about 6 dB of loop gain reduction.

"Fast" and "slow" are relative terms, and not user adjustable. Consider 
them part of the rig's personality...
