[ICOM] IC-756 Hand Mic Problem

[kc7hkp at comcast.net]

Hi Guys. 
When i try the stock hand mic with my Icom 756 ( Non-Pro), Model HM-36 . I do not get any power out like its not hearing well, I tried a 2nd hand Mic same thing, Then i hooked up a Heil HM-i desk mic and i get full power out. If i Yell into the hand mic i do see some needle movement.
I am not sure why the hand mic's do not work, i even put the Mic Gain and Comp to Full and still nothing.
What am i missing ?
Thanks , George
