WEGENER CORPORATION FILES ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIM TO RADYNE COMSTREAM'S LAWSUIT

(May 19, 2003) – Duluth, Georgia – Wegener Corporation (NASDAQ: WGNR) announced today that it had filed an Answer to and Counterclaim against Radyne ComStream Inc. (Nasdaq: RADN) in the lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware which Radyne filed against Wegener in connection with Radyne’s unsolicited tender offer to acquire control of Wegener.

In its Answer, Wegener Corporation denied all of the material allegations of Radyne’s Complaint. Wegener also filed a Counterclaim against Radyne ComStream alleging violation of federal securities laws, specifically the Williams Act, and related regulations concerning tender offers because Radyne ComStream’s tender offer documents contain material misstatements of fact and omissions of facts necessary to make other statements not misleading. Wegener requested that the court issue a temporary restraining order restraining Radyne from making any further solicitations of Wegener’s stockholders pursuant either to the tender offer or the consent solicitation which Radyne has recently announced, to grant a preliminary injunction requiring Radyne to return any shares it has obtained as a result of the tender offer and to grant a temporary and permanent injunction against Radyne requiring it to cure all of its material misstatements and other relief.
