PRESS RELEASE

Radyne ComStream Extends Cash Tender Offer For Shares Of Wegener Corporation Until
Expiration Date for Thursday, June 19, 2003

PHOENIX, AZ – May 21, 2003 — Radyne ComStream Inc. (Nasdaq: RADN; Warrants: RADNW) today announced that it has extended the expiration date for its offer to purchase all of the outstanding publicly held shares of Wegener Corporation (NASDAQ: WGNR) at a price of $1.55 per share, on the terms and conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal for the offer. The offer, which was scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight, Eastern Daylight time, on Wednesday, May 21, 2003, has been extended until 12:00 Midnight, Eastern Daylight time, on Thursday, June 19, 2003.

The depositary for the offer has advised Radyne ComStream that, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight time, on Wednesday, May 21, 2003, an aggregate of approximately 1,230,000 shares of Wegener common stock had been tendered to Radyne ComStream in the offer.

Radyne ComStream intends to conduct a consent solicitation to elect nine nominees to Wegener’s Board of Directors. It will extend the tender offer further as necessary to complete the consent solicitation and, if elected, to allow the new Board to consider whether to support the tender offer and repeal or negate various anti-takeover devices recently implemented by the existing Board in order to preclude stockholders from tendering into the offer.

For additional information on the offer, Wegener stockholders may contact Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. toll-free at (866) 203-9357.

Safe Harbor Paragraph for Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) and Radyne ComStream claims the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms “may,” “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “intends” or “anticipates,” and do not reflect historical facts. Specific forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to, those that relate to consummation of the tender offer and the consent solicitation, together with any other statements that are not historical. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties which include whether the conditions to the tender offer will be satisfied, and the application of certain anti-takeover provisions contained in Wegener Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and in the Delaware General Corporation Laws. Radyne ComStream wishes to caution the reader that these factors, as well as other factors described in Radyne ComStream’s SEC filings, are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements. Other factors that may affect forward-looking statements and the Company’s business generally include but are not limited to:

• Radyne ComStream’s failure to receive a sufficient number of consents from Wegener stockholders;

• Radyne ComStream’s failure to obtain at least a majority of Wegener’s outstanding shares of common stock in the tender offer;

• Prospects of the international markets and global economy given that Radyne ComStream depends heavily on international sales;

• A downturn in the evolving telecommunications and Internet industries;

• Risk factors and cautionary statements made in Radyne ComStream’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2002 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2003;

• The effect that acts of international terrorism may have on Radyne ComStream’s ability to ship products abroad; and

• Other factors that Radyne ComStream is currently unable to identify or quantify, but may exist in the future.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. Radyne ComStream does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
