Exhibit 99.1

               RADYNE SAYS COMTECH CLAIM INVALID AND WITHOUT MERIT

     PHOENIX, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radyne Corporation (Nasdaq:
RADN) today announced that they had already filed a response to the lawsuit
filed by Comtech EF Data for patent infringement. Radyne believes that the claim
is without merit and invalid

     In the filing with the court, Radyne denied that the switching technology
used in its converters is covered by the Comtech EF Data patent and further
claims that the patent itself is not valid.

     "Radyne does not employ the technology described in Comtech's patent which
itself covers a method that has been widely used in the industry for years,"
said Bob Fitting, Radyne's CEO. "Although the business affected by the claim is
not significant to Radyne, we believe it is in the best interest of our
customers to defend this lawsuit."
