[TenTec] Triton IV keyer question

I recently bought a digital Triton IV which, after some cleaning up, seems
to be working pretty well.  The manual recommends a keyer which switches the
keyed line with a relay, because a very low resistance is needed when the
Triton is keyed.  Right now I'm using a HB keyer which uses electronic
switching, and it seems to be OK.

However, I would like to try a Ten Tec keyer.  I have a nice set of Bencher
paddles and would like to use them with an iambic keyer.  Did Ten Tec ever
make a keyer you could plug your own set of paddles into?

Also, after looking over the unofficial Ten Tec pages
(http://www.qsl.net/tentec/), it looks like the KR-20 has electrostatic
paddles.  Is this the case?

Thanks very much,
