Cobra 29 receive problem

I have a cobra 29 ltd classic I'm working on here. The radio appears to have been hooked up backwards at some point. I had to replace the reverse polarity diode and re solder a burnt trace on the board.

The radio powers up now but the receive isn't acting right. When receiving any station the audio from said station is really staticky and hard to understand. Even stations with good signal are hard to understand.

I figure something else has blown out from the reverse polarity but I'm not sure? Any ideas of what would cause this?
