Electrical problem 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 97000 miles

After jumper cables were hooked up backwards, a number of fuses were blown. All have been replaced and the car runs fine - everything works except for radio. Radio fuse is fine. Is it fried? Or is there some kind of automatic shutoff?

I checked the power at the fuse and it is getting power, I think the radio is fried!

I will get an aftermarket one and install it. Thanks for everything guys, I love this site.
