[ICOM] HM-95 problem

[Steve Lewis]

This problem happens whether it's plugged in to an IC-2710, an IC-2720, 
or an IC-706MKIIG...where other mics (HM-103, Heil "Traveler") are fine 
on those radios, so it's not the radios...

My HM-95 sends just "squeal and buzz" for transmit audio...UNLESS I 
physically grab the metal "clip", which seems to somehow create an 
artificial ground, and then the audio is fine!

Is this common for this mic?  I'd rather attempt to solder in a 50-cent 
part than replace another mic if this is something that any of you have 
seen previously...  I took the mic apart and there's no obvious burned 
epoxy or traces...
