WEGENER STOCKHOLDERS STRONGLY SUPPORT MANAGEMENT

Radyne’s Tender Offer Falls Far Short with Less Than 10 % of Shares Tendered

(May 22, 2003) – Duluth, Georgia – Wegener Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR) today responded to the announcement by Radyne ComStream Inc. (Nasdaq: RADN) of the results of its unsolicited hostile cash tender offer. According to Radyne’s announcement, approximately 1,230,000 shares of the approximately 12,367,000 Wegener shares outstanding were tendered into Radyne’s offer.

Robert A. Placek, chairman, president and CEO of Wegener Corporation said, “The number of shares tendered represents less than 10% of our outstanding common stock. In order for their tender offer to be successful, Radyne must receive tenders for over 50% of our outstanding shares. The very low level of tenders they have received sends a clear signal that our stockholders agree with the assessment of our board of directors that Radyne’s offer is grossly inadequate and unfair. We’d like to thank our stockholders for their overwhelming show of support.”

Mr. Placek continued, “In spite of their poor showing, Radyne insists on extending its tender offer to June 19, 2003 and proceeding with its consent solicitation to elect a new majority to our board. Wegener’s board of directors continues to recommend that our stockholders not tender their shares nor sign any consent solicitations they may receive from Radyne.”

The identity of and certain information about the individuals who, under SEC rules, may be considered “participants” in Wegener’s solicitation in opposition to that of Radyne, is contained in Wegener’s filings with the SEC under Schedule 14A.
