Item 1.     Change in Control of Registrant.

            On December 13, 1996, Stetsys Pte Ltd, a corporation organized under
the laws of Singapore, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Stetsys US,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Stetsys"), from Singapore Technologies
Electronics Pte Ltd, another wholly owned subsidiary of its parent corporation,
Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd. Stetsys continues to own all of the outstanding
stock of Engineering and Technical Services, Inc., a Florida corporation
("ETS"), which (through its wholly owned subsidiary, Radyne Corp., a Florida
corporation ("Radyne Florida")) controlled Radyne Corp., a New York corporation
("the Company") by virtue of its ownership of approximately 90.67% of the Common
Stock, $.002 par value, of the Company (the "Shares").

            On December 24, 1996, ETS completed the distribution of the Shares
to Stetsys. ETS had previously received the Shares by operation of law upon the
merger of Radyne Florida into ETS. As a result of these transactions, Stetsys
now owns directly the approximately 90.67% of the Common Stock of the Company
which Stetsys had owned indirectly and Stetsys continues to be wholly owned by
the same group of corporations of which Stetsys Pte Ltd and Singapore
Technologies Pte Ltd are members.
