WEGENER RESPONDS TO RADYNE'S FILING PRELIMINARY PROXY MATERIAL TO SOLICIT CONSENTS

(May 14, 2003) – Duluth, Georgia – Wegener Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR) today gave the following statements in response to Radyne ComStream Inc.’s (Nasdaq: RADN) filing of preliminary proxy materials to solicit consents from Wegener stockholders in an attempt to nearly triple the size of the Wegener board of directors to 15 members and to elect nine of its own nominees to constitute a majority of the Wegener board:

“Radyne’s latest maneuver is not a surprise. Wegener anticipated that Radyne would have to resort to a consent solicitation in order to attempt to gain control of the Company at what the Wegener Board believes is a grossly inadequate and unfair price. In addition, we believe that Radyne is trying to overcome the Wegener Board’s resolute opposition to selling the Company at this time when new products are just coming to market. Wegener’s Board believes this is a last ditch effort to take control of the Company. The Radyne filing states that ‘If these measures do not pass, we will likely abandon our cash tender offer ….’

“Wegener stockholders are entitled to have a board that is fully committed to acting in their best interests – and not in the best interests of Radyne stockholders. We intend to file materials with the SEC in opposition to Radyne’s consent solicitation.”

Wegener and certain other persons named below may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of revocations of consents in response to Radyne’s consent solicitation. The participants in this solicitation may include the directors and executive officers of Wegener (Robert A. Placek, C. Troy Woodbury, Jr., Joe K. Parks, Thomas G. Elliot, Wendell H. Bailey, Ned L. Mountain, and James T. Traicoff). As of the date of this communication, the foregoing participants own the following percentages of Wegener’s outstanding common stock: Robert A. Placek, 15.5%; C. Troy Woodbury, Jr., 1.7%; Joe K. Parks, Thomas G. Elliot, Wendell H. Bailey, Ned L. Mountain, and James T. Traicoff: less than 1.0% individually and in the aggregate.

WEGENER INTENDS TO BUT HAS NOT YET FILED PROXY MATERIALS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN OPPOSITION TO RADYNE’S CONSENT SOLICITATION. WEGENER STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ WEGENER’S PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
