The TS-850S doesn't have such an output, at least not according to the
manual that came with mine.  So you need to make or acquire an attenuator as
Don suggested.
 
However, you might want to consider a 20 dB attenuator, just in case you
accidentally forget to lower the TS-850S power when you go from HF to the
transverter.  You can still run the TS-850S at 10 watts or so and keep the
XV-222 happy, but your XV-222 may be better protected this way.

This'll keep things running until your friend sees the light and gets a K2
:-)

Enjoy!
