WEGENER BOARD CAUTIONS STOCKHOLDERS – RADYNE HAS NOT INCREASED ITS OFFER PRICE

Radyne Letter Outlines Highly Conditional Terms and Continues to Grossly Undervalue Wegener
Wegener Stockholders Do Not Need To Take Action

(May 14, 2003) – Duluth, Georgia – Wegener Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR) today announced that its board of directors received a letter containing several conditions upon which Radyne ComStream Inc. (Nasdaq: RADN) might raise its unsolicited hostile offer price for Wegener shares by $0.085 per share to $1.635 per share. The board has unanimously rejected this highly conditional offer.

Upon receipt of the letter, Wegener’s board immediately referred it to its committee of independent non-management directors, and after consultation with the committee’s independent legal and financial advisors, concluded that 1) the conditions to the offer are not acceptable since the stockholder rights and retention agreements (which Radyne insists be rescinded) were put in place for good and valid reasons and are designed to protect the long-term value of the Company for Wegener stockholders, and 2) an offer price of $1.635 per share, if made, is grossly inadequate and unfair to Wegener stockholders. In addition, the board reiterated that now is not the time to sell the Company.

The board believes that Radyne continues to mislead investors by focusing on issues that are not at the core of their offer – price and future prospects. Wegener’s board stated that the timing of Radyne's offer is no coincidence. Radyne’s offer is an opportunistic, unsolicited hostile attempt to take over Wegener just as its most promising products are coming to market.
