YES!! The push button was the issue! Also, I found that hooking up all the wires on the antenna improved reception. I thought that the three related to the phono jack would have no impact on reception, but it definitely improved when I connected them as well. 

Standard broadcast reception is good. Nothing on Police Band, one station so far on shortwave, but will check that again tonight, when it tends to be better.

THANK YOU ALL for your help!
