This Amendment No. 3 (this “Third Amendment”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) initially filed by Radyne Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2008.

Subject to the foregoing, Purchaser and Comtech have also agreed to consummate the tender offer and the Merger within three business days after the Extended Expiration Date.
