I am looking for a schematic or even the cables to connect a TV-502 (2 meter transverter) to my TS-520S. Can anyone help?

Since I don't really understand what you have or have not for the TV-502 XVTR, then go to the following Boat Anchors URL and download the three (3) PDF documents for wiring configuration and schematics:

And scroll down to FILES to download the 3 documents you'll need.

If you don't have the 8-Pin Kenwood Rectangular Plug then this could be a stumbling block although if you are resourceful and creative, you could modify those Male & Female connectors to DB-25 (computer connectors) or sometine on that size configuration. The other connectors that interface with your TS-530 are RCA Phono Plugs with small RG-58A/U coaxial cable.

Oh, when you do manage to get everything working like it should, the TV-502 Transverter will be sensative to a high VSWR > 1.5:1 so make sure you've got a good match on your 2 Meter Horizontal Yagi Antenna. I recommend using LMR-400, 1/2" or 7/8" Andrews Heliax with N connectors depending on how long your main feedline run is and RG-213/U for the loop around the mast / rotor pipe to the antenna feed point.

Sorry I was not very clear. I am looking for the Pin out or schematic for the cables that connect the TV-502 to the TS-520. I am quit sure I am going to have to modify the connectors as I have never seen these before.

And thanks for the tip on the LMR 400 as this is what I run. A pair of stacked scorpion II cubes from cubex. actualy right now only one but the second will be in place soon!

Ok Ed,

This sounds like you want the TS-520S H.F. Transceiver Manual, I'll include the original TS=520 H.F. Transceiver Info too.

http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/kenwood/ts520s/

http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/kenwood/ts520/

One of these two manuals ought to provide the basic information as to the Wiring configuration to and from the TV-502 Transverter.
