My K2 - XV50 setup did this -- the transverter didn't respond to the
K2 commands in any way, but powered up independently. In my case, it
was that I had soldered up the cable with one DB9 connector
mirror-imaged, so no surprise it didn't work.
DB9 pin numbers are printed in the plastic, inside the back of the
male and on the front of the female. The diagram in the manual is
only labeled with pin numbers in one place -- each color wire goes to
the same pin number on the next connector.
If it's something else, I can't help.
